Description

A substantial antique hand-hammered copper wash basin dating to the late nineteenth century, circa 1890. Beautifully formed from heavy-gauge copper, this large utility vessel features a broad rolled rim, hand-riveted forged iron loop handles, and a wonderfully aged surface that reflects generations of honest use.

Originally intended for household laundry, bathing, or food preparation, today it serves equally well as a dramatic decorative centerpiece, oversized planter, firewood vessel, or display bowl. The rich, naturally developed patina—ranging from warm copper tones to verdigris highlights—speaks to its authentic history and craftsmanship.
