Description

I was so pleased to find this early bronze "down hearth" skillet....it is of a large size, standing on three bold legs....and the thing that really makes it, is the name of the maker cast into the handle CLEMANT TOSEAR, who had a foundry in Salisbury, Wiltshire....he died in 1695 and then his son Clement 11, took over the family business until his death in 1718....it was then continued by his son and brother....this fine skillet is also unusual as it has a small rebate in the top of the rim for a lid....not a feature very often seen in skillets of this period....the skillet is in very good condition with a fine natural patina.

English. C1679-95.

A 17th-century bronze skillet is a domestic cooking vessel featuring three cast legs and a long handle, designed to stand directly over hot embers in a hearth fire.

These vessels were traditionally produced using sand-casting or loam-moulding techniques with a copper and tin alloy, commonly referred to as bronze or latten.

Authentic pieces exhibit irregularities from hand-moulding, deep historic patination, wear consistent with hearth use, and frequently feature makers marks or founders names cast directly onto the handle.

Such pieces can be displayed on a rustic wooden console table, within an open fireplace hearth, or styled on a kitchen shelf to add historical depth and tactile metallic texture.

Bronze should be kept in a stable environment away from high humidity, dusted gently with a soft dry cloth, and left unpolished to preserve its historic patina.
