The set stands out for exceptional build quality (total weight of about 1.6 kg) and for the elegant two-tone contrast: the central body is in warm patinated copper with a refined hand-hammered texture, while the bases, collars, upper knobs and the large ring handles of the main piece are made of solid brass.

They do not have structural dents or deformations. The patina has not been deliberately removed to preserve the piece's authenticity and historicity, leaving the prospective buyer the choice whether to proceed with conservative polishing. A piece of high artisanal craftsmanship for collectors, perfect both as a decorative element for rustic and design kitchens and as an investment for collectors of author-made dinanderie.
