"Duparquet, Huot & Moneuse was an American coppersmith that traces its history to 1852. The earliest address I could find was 24 & 26 Wooster Street, then 43 & 45 Wooster Street (my research confirms as early as 1889 to 1915). I first see the 110 W 22nd Street address in 1917, and I believe they used this location up until the firm was sold in 1937. The W 22nd Street address in the stamp on this piece suggests that it was made in that twenty-year period."

ABOUT US:

Our passion is cooking on copper! We provide professionals and enthusiasts with functional and beautiful copper pans and tools, many with historical significance.

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 railway 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. These are thick and heavy pieces.

We also offer SPECIAL pans from time to time. This includes pans that do not technically fit in the HISTORIC or PROFESSIONAL categories described above but offer a great value or have special interest.

OUR PROCESS:

We find pans from great manufacturers all over the world including France, Italy, England and America. 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, finely detailed dovetails and stamps or engravings by owners and makers all help to make a pan great.

We focus on quality, function and history at a great value. Some of the makers we look for and sell include: Dehillerin, Mauviel, Gaillard Legry, Duval, DH&M, Duparquet, Benham and Sons, Williams Sonoma, Barth, Lamalle, Cordon Bleu, BD&Co and so many more. In addition, we are attracted to pans from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other American cities.

We clean and polish the copper to conserve their history. A skilled USA craftsman re-tins each pan using the hand wipe method.

Our pans preserve the living history of great chefs, restaurants and makers from around the world.
