Description from the seller

A unique and characterful piece of history for the true connoisseur!
With pride we present this exceptional antique cast-iron countertop coffee grinder from the late 19th century. This type of grinder, equipped with an elegant and sturdy S-shaped flywheel, was used at the time in small grocers, early coffee bars, or affluent households.
Showpiece with sublime details
The piece is fully manufactured from heavy cast iron and exudes pure craftsmanship.
On the coin tray sits the striking, cast inscription "CAFE" in a beautiful historic typeface. At the front is the original brass-colored wing nut/adjuster screw, which is not only functional for setting the grind size but also provides a stunning visual contrast with the dark iron.
The whole sits on a solid wooden base, complete with the accompanying wooden receptacle for the ground coffee.

Beautiful antique patina

The grinder is in an authentic, lived-in state with a stunning, deep patina that breathtakingly reflects the passage of time.
The mechanism turns smoothly via the massive flywheel with the integrated iron handle.

This piece is the ultimate eye-catcher for a modern, industrial, or classical interior, and an absolute dream for furnishing a luxury coffee bar, espresso lounge, or restaurant.
A rare decorative masterpiece that is seldom offered in this complete form!
Specifications:
• Material: High-quality cast iron, brass details, wooden base and receptacle.
• Drive: Manual via monumental S-flywheel.
• Condition: Beautiful antique condition with natural signs of aging that contribute to the unique character. Mechanism rotates.
View the detail photos carefully to convince yourself of the quality and the sublime appearance of this historic lot. Will be shipped with meticulous, professional packaging.
