Macine Rurali - Coffee grinder (3) - Wood, Metal - Coffee grinder, cereals,

Splendid lot of three antique manual grinding tools (coffee, cereals and spices) dating from the first half of the nineteenth century. The objects belong to the Rural Folk Art category: they are unique pieces entirely handmade by local artisans and blacksmiths, not mass-produced industrially (complete absence of brand marks).
Details of the pieces:
Coffee grinder for shop, center: Sturdy solid-wood structure with beautiful irregular dovetails cut by hand. Impressive upper-beam mechanism in wrought iron.
Grain mill (Left): Wood structure with manual dovetail joints and a deep flared iron hopper for large grains.
Spice/pepper grinder (Right): Slim vertical structure on a dark wood base, with a cup-shaped hopper and a side crank.
Condition: The objects are in original 'first patina' condition, never restored or stripped. The wood shows the beautiful signs of time. Note of great collecting value: all internal mechanisms and cranks are free, smooth and perfectly functional.
