Ébéniste - Press Antique - Miter press

Old carpenter's mitre press or vise

An old, imposing screw press or vise dating from roughly 1900–1920, built entirely of solid wood, with a threaded rod and a traditionally turned wooden crank.

Main features and operation
It allows precise adjustment and squaring of the ends of wooden pieces at exact 90° or 45° angles.

The adjustable screw mechanism and substantial wooden clamping blocks provide a practical way to hold the wood firmly in place during restoration or finishing work. Its aged wooden surfaces and exposed mechanism give it a distinctive industrial character.

It features an attractive aged patina, natural variations in the grain, surface wear, and age cracks in the wood, reflecting its history of use. The robust wooden frame and the screw assembly remain in place. It will be shipped exactly as shown in the photos, so please examine all images carefully.
