Working tool (2) - Old deboners

Elegant pair of antique cast-iron pitting devices – COMPLETE and ORIGINAL – 19th century

Authentic and charming lot consisting of two vintage fruit pitting tools, pieces rich with history that evoke the atmosphere of European kitchens from the late 19th century.

What makes this set really special is its extraordinary condition: both retain all their original elements: functioning springs, punches, and their precious turned wooden knobs. Finding pieces like this complete is increasingly rare on the market.

Their design combines functionality and aesthetics: the cast iron provides solidity and an industrial character, while the wood adds warmth and a handcrafted touch. The natural patina, acquired over the decades, gives them a unique presence that is impossible to reproduce.

The lot includes:

- One larger model, with a sturdy arched framework, wide base and more evolved design, intended for heavy use.
- One smaller model, with simpler lines and a more primitive character, with great rustic charm.

Features:

Materials: cast iron, steel and wood
Components: 100% original (springs, knobs and frame)
Condition: good overall, with natural wear and authentic patina
Operation: mechanical, preserved

Industrial utilitarian style from the late 19th century, probably originating in Central Europe (Germany or France), where this type of household utensil was widely diffused."}
