Description from the seller

These presses were used in bookbinding shops from the 19th century for binding and gluing books.
They are also used by notaries to bind deeds or by herbalists to create a herbarium.
Cast iron was adopted because it was more durable and stronger than wood.
The item is heavy and decorative, often used as an interior piece.
