Press

Metal herbalist's manual press, designed to extract essences and active ingredients from medicinal plants, dating to the mid-20th century.

Made of painted cast iron, with a characteristic aquamarine finish, it features an arch-shaped frame with a central steel screw and a horizontal lever pressing system. The lower cylindrical container, metal, is designed to hold the plant material during the pressing process.
The item retains an authentic patina, with signs of wear consistent with its age and use, attesting to its originality and functional use over time. The mechanism appears intact and complete, a feature of particular interest for both collectors of technical instruments and enthusiasts of traditional herbalism.
A type increasingly rare to find, representing an interesting example of manual equipment tied to officinal practices and the artisanal processing of essences.
Ideal as a collectible piece, decorative element in rustic or vintage settings, or as a functional object for demonstrations or non-intensive uses.

Proper packaging and trackable shipping throughout Europe.
