L I E - Coffee grinder - Iron, Wood

Antique manual coffee grinder, made of cast iron with a wooden drawer and side hand crank. The body is finished in its original blue paint, showing an aged patina with visible wear and light oxidation consistent with time and use, which adds authenticity and vintage character.
The piece features a large decorative flywheel with a wooden handle for manual operation, a top hopper with lid for coffee beans, and a lower wooden drawer to collect the ground coffee. The base is marked with the word “PATENTADO”, indicating a patented design typical of European manufacturers of the period.
This type of grinder was commonly produced in the late 19th to early 20th century (approximately 1880s–1930s), during the industrial era when cast iron household implements were widely manufactured.
Today, it is a highly decorative collectible item, ideal for rustic, industrial, or vintage interiors, appreciated for both its functional origins and its aesthetic appeal.
