AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique manual coffee grinder, tabletop model, with a solid wood case (finger-joint/dovetail joints), metal hopper/bowl (brass or steel), featuring a central threaded shaft and an iron crank with a turned wooden handle. A typical piece from the late 19th / early 20th century, of European manufacture.
Materials
• Solid wood (box and legs)
• Metal (tank/funnel, internal mechanism and crank)
• Wood-turned handle
Approximate dimensions (from the photos)
• Total height: ~30–31 cm (to the top of the crank)
• Box height: ~12–13 cm
• Base width: ~14–15 cm
• Base depth: ~14–15 cm
Height of the metal tank above the lid: ~5–6 cm
Condition
Good overall condition for its age. Natural patina on the metal and consistent wear on the wood. The mechanism appears complete; it may require cleaning and lubrication for functional use. Also excellent as a decorative piece.
Usage
Originally used to grind coffee beans by hand. Today it is highly valued for rustic/industrial décor or collecting.
Seller's Story
I am passionate about art, antiques, and decorative objects with historical and aesthetic value. I carefully select unique pieces for auction, prioritizing those that stand out for their originality, quality, and history.
I have a special affinity for antique mirrors inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha, acquired from private collections and antique shops in Portugal and France. I also place great importance on pieces made of carved wood, especially in gilded relief, which represent the refinement and craftsmanship of classical decorative arts.
