Description from the seller

Antique diamond cutter or polisher. This is a tool used by a craftsman who skillfully works on a rough diamond, cutting and polishing it to maximize the stone's brilliance and fire. This is achieved by shaping the stone in a specific form, grinding the facets, and perfectly polishing the surface.

This antique diamond cutter comes from Antwerp and dates from the late 19th century!

Besides its interesting background, it is a very decorative object.

The grinder is heavy due to its cast iron base and is further constructed from iron and yellow copper components.

No brand detectable.

In good, vintage condition.
