Large, French hanging cookpot

A large, French copper cooking pot. This style of pot, with a folding steel handle, was made to hang over an open fire. This one is made from a very heavy gauge of copper and it has castellated seams around the base and up the side. It has a flat, strap handle to the lid and triangular shaped copper fittings to the side. It dates from c.1860. It is in excellent condition but the tinning, to the interior, is very worn so it could no longer be used from cooking.
