Description

A Grands Magasins du Louvre copper saucepan or "Casserole Russe" in French, with cast iron handle, three copper rivets, and a clean tin lining. Grands Magasins du Louvre was a renown cookware store in Paris, France that operated from 1887 to the 1920s, and I've attached a link below that contains additional information on the store. But the copper cookware sold there is known as being very desirable and of high quality. This copper saucepan has a "Grands Magasins du Louvre" stamp to the right of the handle and a 19 stamped to the left of the handle, which indicates the diameter of the saucepan. This copper saucepan also has a subtle hammered finish and double beveled edges on the bottom of the pan, which helps to strengthen and reenforce one of the areas most prone to getting damaged from use. Dimensions of this copper saucepan are: Diameter of 19cm or 7.5 inches Sidewall height of 10.5cm or 4.125 inches Length when including the handle of 38cm or 15 inches Weight of 1.9kg or 4lb 3 ounces Copper sidewall thickness of 2.1mm at the rim With a clean and shiny tin lining, this copper saucepan is both an excellent display item and a beautiful functional piece of antique copper cookware. https://www.vintagefrenchcopper.com/identification/stamps/copper-from-the-great-parisian-department-stores/
