Description

Vintage Copper Bed Pan- 12″ Diameter

This Vintage Copper Bed Pan is a striking example of functional design from the past. Measuring 12 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches deep, it extends to 40 inches with its wooden handle. Originally used to warm beds before central heating, it now finds a second life as a decorative piece in rustic interiors. The copper lid features a subtle, punch-decorated floral design, adding delicate detail to its practical form.

Copper bed pans were commonly used in the 18th and 19th centuries. Copper was prized for its excellent heat conductivity, which allowed bed pans to retain warmth efficiently. It also resists corrosion, making it ideal for repeated use in household tasks. These qualities made copper the material of choice for many domestic items before modern heating and plumbing.

The surface of this Vintage Copper Bed Pan tells its own story. Marks, discoloration and worn areas on both pan and handle reflect its long service life. These imperfections add visual interest and texture, making it a natural fit for interiors with aged wood, stone, or antique metalwork.

Versatile Applications

Today, this Vintage Copper Bed Pan is more likely to hang on a wall than warm a mattress. It adds historical depth and a focal point to kitchens, hallways or farmhouse-style living rooms. Its shape and material contrast well with neutral walls and modern surfaces.

Using reclaimed decor like this Vintage Copper Bed Pan supports sustainability and reduces reliance on newly manufactured items. It also brings uniqueness to a space. No two reclaimed objects carry exactly the same marks, colour tones or history. This sets them apart from mass-produced decor.

Whether displayed above a hearth or leaned on a shelf, this Vintage Bed Pan offers more than visual appeal. It connects past and present through both material and design. For those who value detail, history and honest materials, it makes a compelling addition to any interior.

Match with reclaimed quarry tiles for a complete rustic aesthetic.
