Very Large Antique French Tin-Lined Copper Skimmer/Chestnut Roaster Iron Handle

Description: This is a bit of a one-off, I have not been able to find another one this big, it is 110 cm long and the bowl is 37 cm across, it is very very big. I have said French because the rat tail iron handle looks like the smaller French examples and I think it is tin lined copper as the bowl has very tin-looking patches showing through, so maybe it was coloured. The back of the bowl however looks like it is copper. It may well be a blacksmith item due to the size of it. Most examples I found that were similar in style were dated to late 18th early 19th century, so I have plopped for that too. Basically I am working a bit blind without any other examples. Condition, it is solid, but there is some slight bangs out of shape and marks on the inside bowl as well as the lighter patches as I mentioned above. Please look carefully at the photos. Please see photos for measurements. Dispatched with Royal Mail, if you are overseas I do use eBay Global Shipping but please be aware that your country may have customs restrictions on a few things. I have had a few instances where the item has sadly been destroyed. So please understand when you buy I cannot see what country you are in, so it is up to you to be sure that the item is permitted. I love vintage and unusual items and much of what I sell comes from my own collections as I love to keep things for a while and pass them on for others to enjoy. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND that whilst I have done my best to give a fair and accurate description of this item, please note I do not claim to be an expert in any of the items being offered just someone who appreciates lovely things, therefore all dates and descriptions are only my opinion and should not be taken as statements of fact. Do look carefully at the photographs as all my items are vintage and are often not perfect. On the rare occasion something may get damaged when wrapping or I may find damage that I did not notice when I listed. If this happens I will immediately contact buyer. If you have any questions about it please Email me and ask before bidding and I will do my best to answer them. Please be fair to me and all eBay sellers and at least give us a chance to fix problems before you leave negative feedback or open cases, if you contact me I WILL sort it out somehow.
