According to Dehillerin’s website:
https://www.edehillerin.fr/en/blog/history/from-the-origins
“In the 1880s, Eugène de Hillerin acquired a hardware and household goods store and a boilermaker's workshop. His clients included restaurateurs who came to the Halles neighbourhood for supplies of fresh produce.
Specialist in the supply and sale of kitchen equipment, the brand's motto is "Modest assistance in the promotion of French cuisine". Its fame and reputation very quickly spread outside its borders. In 1912, the famous White Star Line, owner of the Titanic, ordered a certain number of utensils. In the mid-90s, excavations carried out on the wreckage of the liner also made it possible to reconstruct a Dehillerin bain-marie! At the beginning of the 30's, the brand also supplied the cold rooms for another legendary liner, the Normandy.
The Élysée and many Parisian palaces, including the Lapérouse hotel, also became Dehillerin clients.
Decades later, American cook and television host Julia Child introduced French cuisine to the other side of the Atlantic in books and shows that were watched by thousands of viewers. Trained in Paris, the priestess of French cooking was also a great admirer of the house of Dehillerin.”

Copper pans have a story to tell, and so do we!

SHOP STORY:

Our passion is cooking on copper! We provide professionals and enthusiasts with functional and beautiful copper pans and tools, many with historical significance. Most of our pans have been refurbished by inspecting, performing necessary repairs.

We focus on two types of copper cooking tools: HISTORIC and PROFESSIONAL:

HISTORIC copper pieces are made by well-known craftsmen and each have a story to tell. The pan you are purchasing may have been handled by a famous chef or used in a well-known restaurant, hotel or train kitchen. These exceptional pieces are a connection to the past. They are often stamped or engraved with the initials of chefs or names or restaurants.

PROFESSIONAL copper pieces shine in a restaurant or hotel kitchen. They are at least 2.5mm in thickness and are often 3mm or more.

OUR PROCESS:
We find pans from great manufacturers all over the world. We look for pans that are thick and heavy, are made by a true craftsman and have great aesthetic quality. Big copper hand-set rivets, well done repairs (we actually LOVE repairs), finely detailed dovetails and stamps or engravings by owners and makers all help to make a pan great. We focus on quality, function and the history of a pan. Come shop our selection of amazing pans and join the story!

Some of the makers and distributors we look for and sell include: Elkington, E. Dehillerin, Mauviel, Gaillard, Legry, Duval, DH&M, Duparquet, Dougherty, Benham and Sons, Williams Sonoma, Barth, Lamalle, Cordon Bleu BIA, Lewis & Conger, Bramhall Deane (BD&CO) , Army & Navy (A&N), Jacquotot, La Ménagère, Jones Bros, J.Y.Watkins, Mores & Lucca, Michel LeJeune, LE GOURMET, The Design Store, Williams Sonoma, George Ott, V Olac, Peter Brux, Regniaud, Temple & Crook, and so many more. In addition, we are attracted to pans from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other American cities.

Our pans preserve the living history of great chefs, restaurants and makers from around the world. Buying a pan from us also helps contribute to the environment. Re-use is a great way to honor the past and to respect the future.
