About the Item

Hand-worked in circa 1800, this French copper lavabo has been mounted more recently to a shaped wooden board with edges painted in a matching copper hue. The upper receptacle, which is designed to hold water for hand washing, features a quartered coat of arms topped by a crown and flanked by dolphin supporters. It is topped with a molded lid that has been hammered with a ring of egg and dart, matching a ring that graces the vessel above a bronze spigot. Positioned directly under the tap is a wide basin, which functions as the sink. It has bronze handles on the side, allowing the water to be disposed of after everyone has cleaned their hands. A pair of twisting dolphins can be seen on either side of a bearded mascaron, above a ring of foliage. With the advent of running water, lavabos are no longer used as a cleaning station, instead most collectors will hang them on walls as decorative planters. The backing board has been rigged with wire, allowing our coat of arms lavabo to be hung immediately in a kitchen, bar area, or hallway. Upper receptacle dimensions: H – 18 ¼, W – 12 ½. Basin dimensions: H – 9 1/8, W – 18 1/8, D – 14 ¼.

18th Century Repousse Decorated Copper Chaudron from France

Located in Dallas, TX

A beautiful example of a period Louis XVI chaudron, or cauldron, the copper has been decorated with a metalworking technique known as repousse, where low relief motifs are hammered from the reverse side. Many motifs from Louis XVI were inspired by ancient civilizations (Egypt, Rome, Greece, etc.), such as the mascarons and cartouches seen on the sides of this chaudron. There are two distinct mythological scenes on opposite sides, set in between a pair of twisted loop handles emanating from the mouth of a heavily bearded mascaron with a tied bow in his hair. One image depicts Pegasus rearing up as a man with a sword...
