Vintage Copper Bed Warming Pan
This vintage copper bed warming pan is offered as a traditional long-handled bedware piece, designed to be filled with hot embers and passed between sheets to take the chill from a bed before retiring. It is presented here as a decorative and collectable example of domestic metalware.
The round copper pan has a shallow, straight-sided body with a rolled rim and a flat lid. The lid features an engraved oriental design, which forms the principal decorative element of the piece. The pan is attached to a long, dark-stained wooden handle with a turned profile and a rounded finial at the end, joined to the pan by a brass collar. A length of red fabric is tied near the top of the handle.
Condition and Collectable Appeal
The copper shows the darkening and surface patina typical of its age, with light wear visible across the lid and body. The engraved decoration on the lid remains legible, and the wooden handle retains its original turned form. No further restoration or alteration details are provided for this lot. Buyers interested in antique domestic copperware, traditional bedwarmers or pieces with Asian-inspired decoration may find this an appealing addition to a collection or a country-style interior.
