A handsome old farm piece with a second life. This antique feed cutter, or crop guillotine, was used to chop hay, straw, and corn stalks for livestock. It sits on its original wooden stand with a long trough, and its cast iron knife housing is marked "No. 1." It has a big sweeping lever arm and a weighted pivot.
We love it as a home bar or accent piece. The trough holds bottles, glasses, or a few books, and the iron hardware gives it real sculptural presence. It's a great conversation piece in a kitchen, entry, or den.
The wood has a warm, honey-toned patina. A faded stenciled maker's mark on the trough side is partly legible.
Late 19th to early 20th century, American.
