Description: Incredibly rare find - a famous original French copper powerhouse Dehillerin 7" copper pan with the lid. The lid has "MM" initials of its original restaurant owner. There is no introduction required - every chef knows, has and cherishes copper pieces from Gaillard, Dehillerin, Mauviel and Villedieu, the quality pieces that are a must in any famous gourmet chef and restaurant kitchens. A rare original piece from French gourmet chef collection. Stamped E.DEHILLERIN 18 RUE COQUILLIERE - the address Dehillerin moved in 1890. That is pretty much impossible to find these days. This is a collectors item. 7” diameter heavy copper pan with the gorgeous brass handles and a matching lid. This piece is from the early editions of this copper powerhouse collection that was much more substantial in thickness of copper and therefore is much more valuable as a perfect and even heat conductor that is a must for a gourmet chef. The newer copper pieces are much thinner and lighter yet still being considered an investment with their prices climbing up annually as the choices become more limited. Yet the older vintage pieces are much more coveted as they become harder and harder to find or replace from the French famous copper shops cherished supply. Those cherished treasures are being lovingly stored in special rooms at the back of the company shops in France and shown only to serious collectors upon request. As copper became increasingly expensive the famous French copper sellers like Mauviel and Dehillerin could no longer continue to make the pans of the same thickness of copper to keep the prices within the reach of affordability. The older original pieces became more of the collectors items as they became so hard to find. This pan is one of them. This quality and size pan is a must at reputable French gourmet restaurants. My French copper dealer/collector mentor and friend who was collecting copper for over 50 years had a favorite saying: "use your copper pan - it would make you a better chef". Don’t miss the rare chance to own a collectible piece of French gourmet history in such amazingly great ready for use condition. Don't miss out on the rare chance to own this unique piece.
