Antique Copper Wash Boiler, Wooden Handles, 28" x 12" x 13"

A long oval copper wash boiler, the kind that once sat across two burners on a wood stove on laundry day. Seamed sides with a raised band running all the way around, a rolled rim, and a turned wooden handle at each end on a riveted steel bracket. The copper has gone warm and uneven, bright in places and darker in others. Inside it is dark. The bottom is blackened from years on the stove, with copper showing through where it has worn.

Antique Copper Wash Boiler, copper with turned wooden handles on riveted steel brackets. 28" x 12" x 13". Dents and dings along the sides and lower band, small green verdigris spots near the base, scratches and rubbing on the copper, and a heavily scratched, blackened bottom with copper worn through in patches. The brackets are worn and spotted, one with faint stamped lettering too worn to read. The wooden handles are darkened with use.

For split logs by the hearth, a stack of throws at the foot of the bed, or filled with ice and bottles on the porch.

Each piece is vintage or antique and has lived a life before finding its way to Tallmadge Ave; natural signs of age, wear, patina, and imperfections are part of its character and are to be expected. All pieces are sold as-is, and any notable condition issues are described in the product listing. That said, if it arrives damaged or isn't as described, we'll refund you in full, including shipping — since each piece is one of a kind, we can't simply send a replacement. Otherwise, returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Questions any time at christine@tallmadgeave.com — we're a two-person shop, and we answer.
