Antique Copper Cauldron w/ Wrought Iron Handles — Patinated, 16" Diameter

This antique hand-forged copper cauldron features a bold, flared profile with heavy wrought iron swing handles, riveted securely to each side. Likely dating to the 19th century or earlier, the piece displays a richly weathered green patina from age and outdoor exposure, offering exceptional visual character. Its generous size and robust construction suggest use in open-fire cooking or similar utilitarian settings.

The surface retains deep textural wear and authentic signs of age, including oxidation, verdigris, and rusting to the iron elements. A rolled rim enhances durability, and the piece rests steadily on its broad base. Its sculptural form makes it a striking accent for rustic, garden, or industrial interiors.

Condition
