Early French solid copper bath tub c1800

Early French solid copper bath tub c1800. This period French bath tub dates from the late 18th to early 19th century. It retains its old export shipping label from when it was shipped through E.D.E.T.Montreuil to the United States after the 2nd world war. The entire bath tub was made from a single piece of copper that was hand dovetailed with a single joint. The bath tub measures 63 inches long by 24 and one half inches wide,25 inches tall at the middle and 29 and one half inches tall at both ends. This is fantastic piece. It would be perfect for a party if you filled it with chipped ice and used it for oysters and fine champagne. There is one old master repair to the base which we show a picture of. It is in excellent condition.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
