Antique French Large (Commercial) Cast Iron Coffee Grinder

Step into a world where every detail tells a story. This heavy antique French commercial coffee grinder is a beautifully preserved piece of café history - once bolted to the counters of French coffee houses or restaurants, it now makes a dramatic centrepiece or working display in modern kitchens, bars, or styled interiors.

✨ Key Features & Appeal

• Authentically vintage c. 1920 — a true relic of early 20th‑century café life

• Built from solid cast iron and rich hardwood — robust, tactile, and built to last

• All mechanisms, drawers, and openings still in perfect order. Even the grinding adjustment still works!

• Weighs over 9 kg, giving it presence and gravitas

• Size: 37 cm wide × 23 cm deep × 41 cm tall

• The wooden drawer handle features elegant detailing that adds to its collectible charm

• A rare functioning piece of café equipment — equally at home in a kitchen, bar or restaurant setting, or as a prop for photo shoots

🎯 Why This Grinder Stands Out

This isn’t just décor — it’s a machine with purpose, character, and a story behind it. It invites admiration, conversation, and even use. Whether you’re a collector, interior stylist, restaurant owner, or photo prop buyer, it offers a unique focal point rooted in authentic French café heritage.

💡 Styling & Usage Ideas

• Use it as a functional or decorative coffee grinding station

• Showcase it on a countertop, bar shelf, or sideboard

• Feature it as a photo prop for food, beverage, or interiors shoots

• Integrate into vintage, industrial, rustique, or café-inspired interiors

✅ Condition & Notes

In immaculate condition considering its age — all parts are operational and the unit shows only the light wear expected from its storied past.

A truly lovely & unique item.
