This splendid column espresso machine is a creation of the legendary Victoria Arduino, an absolute symbol of Italian excellence and the history of historic cafés, presented here in a rare and luxurious version dating back to the 1960s.

Design and Style: The cylindrical design, with its exquisitely retro charm, is embellished with a superb polished hammered brass body that captures and reflects light. The elegant brand signature dominates the front fascia, while crowning the dome is a majestic, solid brass eagle with spread wings, the iconic emblem that has made these machines famous worldwide. A sculptural object, perfect for enhancing a bar area or a classy kitchen.

Material and Finish: External structure entirely of brass (smooth and hammered). The original internal components (boiler, pipes, valves) are easily inspected by lifting the upper dome. The lot is complete with its accessories: filter holder, tamper with the embossed "Victoria Arduino" logo, and measuring cup.
