Antique Copper Boiler with Lid & Wooden Handles – Rustic Farmhouse Decor
This antique copper boiler was originally used in the 19th and early 20th centuries for essential household tasks. Traditionally, these large copper vessels were indispensable for boiling laundry, rendering lard, and preserving food, particularly in rural homes where open-hearth cooking and large-scale food preparation were common. The durable copper construction ensured even heat distribution, making it a preferred choice for generations.
Featuring a hand-riveted, double-ridged body, this boiler retains its original metal lid with a wooden handle and turned wood side handles, affixed with iron brackets for stability. Over time, it has developed an authentic patina, with verdigris and oxidation that highlight its rich history.
