This impressive column coffee machine is a prestigious creation by Victoria Arduino, in a rare and highly sought-after 1950s version.

Design and Style: The column design is enhanced by a magnificent hammered brass body, lending a sculptural and luminous appearance to the entire structure. Crowning the dome is the famous solid brass eagle with spread wings, the manufacturer's unmistakable symbol. The back features the original black and gold label certifying its provenance: "Victoria Arduino - Casorate Sempione (VA) - Italy".

Material and Finish: External structure crafted from fine hammered brass. The upper dome is removable to allow inspection of the original internal components (boiler, pipes, valves). The lot includes its original accessories: filter holder, "Victoria Arduino" branded tamper, measuring cup, and an additional brass knob.
