Original Antique French Confit Pots

56J

A set of three large decorative yellow 19th century original antique French confit pots in good condition. Footnote: Confit is the French word that means ‘to preserve’ and during the 19th century before modern day refrigeration, these mustard coloured half glazed pots were used for storing cooked meats by burying them part way into the ground or placing them into stone-lined larders.

Circa: 1850

Wallrocks only buy antiques that are sound. We are able to do this because we buy them in original condition and it provides the significant advantage of being able to see what has and has not been done to a piece over time. It is to our customers absolute benefit that we do this. It allows us to see, whether the quality or integrity has been compromised?

Wallrocks have very strict buying criteria…

  • The furniture must be antique, and if not it needs to be of an unsually high standard to justify being purchased;
  • Antiques must be of a very high quality;
  • Our antiques must have correct proportion;
  • Importantly, they must have integrity and aesthetic appeal.

While these criteria might seem obvious, it is difficult to find furniture that satisfy all of them at once.
