Antique French Vineyard Carved Wine Press Screw Pedestal Stand Folk Art

About the Item

A most impressive pair of 19th century industrial French Provincial vineyard wine-press screw elements, refinished and fashioned as monumental pedestals / decorative arts stand / folk art sculptures. France; circa 1860s/1870s Over 150 years ago at a vineyard in the rural French countryside, these massive hand-crafted screw elements were a crucial component of a mechanical wine-press machine, extracting juice from crushed grapes during the wine making process.
