With its exposed structure, original mechanical elements and natural patina, it bears witness to a craftsmanship that has now disappeared. A rare and sculptural object, full of memories, which will find its place in a rustic decor as well as in a cabinet of curiosities. Main characteristics: - materials: made entirely of solid wood, this churn has a beautiful old patina, with signs of use that reinforce its authenticity. The central axis and the metal mechanism are preserved in their original state. - function: once used for making butter, this churn, operated by a manual or pedal movement, was used to agitate the cream to extract the butter. Its vertical and open construction makes it an object as decorative as it is narrative. - dimensions: 78 cm high, 60 cm wide and 42 cm deep. Balanced proportions that make it an imposing piece without being bulky. - finish: wood left in its original state, simply cleaned and stabilized, to preserve the evocative power of its raw material. A rare object full of history perfect for: - a country interior or a family home, as a tribute to rural traditions. - a shop or restaurant with vintage or authentic decor, as a showcase element. - a collection of antique or ethnographic objects, as a witness to artisanal heritage. This antique churn, at the crossroads between utility and sculpture, reminds us that the most beautiful objects are sometimes those whose function has been silenced, but whose soul remains.
