Antique French Copper Bread Bin Cover – Woman Feeding Hens Scene

This rare French copper bread bin cover is a true countryside treasure. Embossed with a pastoral scene of a woman feeding her hens beneath a pair of fruiting trees, it speaks to a simpler life and the rhythms of the rural kitchen. Found in Normandy, this copper panel once adorned the front of a boulangerie-style bread box—protecting the daily loaf with both beauty and utility.

With its soft verdi gris patina and deep relief work, this piece adds instant warmth and rustic elegance to your kitchen wall, pantry shelf, or copper collection. We have one in our Everyday Château and thought you might like one in yours.

Feeling creative? We stumbled upon TWO of these on our last sourcing trip. They can be easily attached to your product with small brad nails and could be used like tile. This listing is for one. You need to change your cart quantity to two if you want both of them. Aside from the patina being in different areas, they are identifcal.
