This vintage French copper fish poacher is the kind of piece that I love.
Hand-crafted by a local French artisan at the very end of the 18th century or the beginning of the 19th, it showcases remarkable repoussรฉ copperwork with elegant fleur-de-lis motifs on both sides, the iconic emblem of French royalty. The detailing is subtle yet powerful, giving this piece a strong presence without feeling ornate or heavy.
Originally made for cooking whole fish, this fish poacher has long transcended its practical purpose. Today, it makes a stunning decorative planter, a dramatic centerpiece, or a museum-worthy collectorโs object for lovers of authentic French copper. Its silhouette and softly aged patina give it a timeless, sculptural quality that works beautifully in both classic and rustic interiors.
The copper has been cleaned, but as expected with antique copper, a light patina may naturally reappear over time. If you ever wish to brighten it again, a simple wipe with lemon juice will restore its glow. Minor dents, gentle irregularities, and light oxidation remain.
A soulful object that brings French heritage into your home.
