The remaining salad and dinner plates do bear the stamp of the iconic foundry Bordallo Pinheiro and are more recent in age, exhibiting the symmetrical vein design that radiates across the plate.

Dimensions: 20 ½” H x 16 ¾” W x 16 ¾” D

French 18th Century Oak Wine Press
$2,600.0046.50"H x 10.50"W x 10.50"D
Dimensions: 46 ½” H x 10 ½” W x 10 ½” D
This wonderfully patinated 18th century grape press screw (circa 1790) from a winery in France is carved from a solid oak post mounted on a large base that retains the original metal strapping. The shaft would have driven a large stone wheel downward–hence the large opening for the handle–crushing and squeezing grapes, forcing out their juice as the stone rotates across them. The production of wine is tantamount to French culture, and these larger-than-life screws made producing it en masse a possibility. This antique press, with its deep, rich color and texture could be used as a plant stand, display pedestal, or wired as a unique floor lamp. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, ready for your interior. Be sure to view all the images to get a closer look.
