Description
A rare jewel of French copper history — this 3-inch copper saucepan bears the DALLOYAU Paris stamp, representing the legendary patisserie established in 1682, renowned for supplying the royal court of Versailles. Small in scale but mighty in charm, this piece was made for the precision work of sauces, reductions, or pastry creams in the professional French kitchen.
DALLOYAU operated full professional kitchens encompassing pastry, chocolate, and savory cuisine. Like many of France’s elite culinary houses — Ladurée, Lenôtre, and Maxim’s among them — DALLOYAU commissioned custom copper cookware for their chefs. These exceptional pieces were typically produced by master coppersmiths such as Mauviel or Lecellier, then stamped with the DALLOYAU mark to designate them as part of the patisserie’s own kitchen inventory. Today, these stamped pieces are rare finds, offering a tangible connection to the artistry and discipline of France’s grand culinary tradition.
