Mortar and pestle - Bronze - Almirez / vintage mortar

Magnificent antique mortar from an apothecary’s shop or noble kitchen, made in solid cast bronze and polished with its original pestle to match.
The piece stands out for its rich relief ornamentation inspired by Neobaroque, an iconic and highly collectible design. The mortar body features detailed masks or lion faces sculpted in relief, accompanied by protruding vertical ribs and two fixed side rings. The mortar neck opens into an elegant wide, flared mouth with an excellent natural patina.
