Antique Jos. Heinrichs Copper & Sterling Silver Frying Pan
Maison Arthur Grill – New York City
Offered is an authentic early 20th century frying pan by Joseph Heinrichs of New York,one of America’s most respected producers of silver-lined copper cookware for elite hotels andrestaurants before stainless steel became standard.
This pan is formed from pure copper and originally lined with sterling silver, the premierprofessional cooking surface of the era. The base bears a clear stamp forMaison Arthur Grill, firmly placing this piece within New York City’s early fine-dining history.
Maison Arthur Grill – New York
Maison Arthur Grill was an upscale New York City restaurant operating during the early 20th century,a time when serious dining establishments commissioned custom-branded cookware exclusively forin-house use. Such equipment was functional, not decorative, and was subjected to intense dailyservice over open flame.
As a result, most restaurant-stamped frying pans were eventually worn out, re-lined, or discarded.Surviving examples—especially frying pans—are significantly scarcer today than kettles or servicepieces.
This pan is therefore both a product of Heinrichs’ renowned craftsmanship and a tangible artifactfrom a vanished New York dining room—an object that once lived at the stove in a professional kitchen.
