It consists of an articulated arm with a wooden handle at the top which, once activated, triggers the suction of the drink. In fact, in the lower part, the hollowed out body contains a period pump. The liquid is transported through a hose to a brass tap. It will end its journey in the container that can be installed in the support provided for this purpose, pierced with a hole of 11.5 cm in diameter.
There is a round iron plate with the stamp of the manufacturer of this pump: the Chauvin establishments in Rennes.
The panels forming the facade of this property are removable, making access to the Pump possible.
The back of the piece of furniture is in Chestnut, the bottom is perforated.
This beautifully restored Cider Pump can continue to be used from time to time, or be used as a peaceful retreat as a decorative object, in a private setting, or in a Bar Restaurant.
