Antique Belgian Cast Iron Milk Container, circa 1920s
About the Item
When dairy farmers traveled to the market, they would use large metal jugs, such as this cast iron milk container, to sell milk to local customers. The cast iron has been stamped on the side wall with “SLM”, which is the production mark of a Swiss company known as Société laitière Maggi (Maggi Dairy Company). In the early 20th century, SLM had a strong presence in northern France and Belgium, as the company founder, Julius Maggi, moved to Paris in 1902. A versatile item, you can use the cast iron milk container as a decorative kitchen accessory with the lid on or hanging to the side, as it is chained to one of the large ears. It would also make a unique umbrella holder or flower vase.

Large Antique Wrought Iron and Bronze Double Sided Lectern from France, 19th C.
Located in Dallas, TX
Known as a lutrin in France, this double-sided lectern is highly scrolled and pierced, making a unique and beautiful dais. The imposing French lutrin is comprised of wrought iron with some bronze embellishments (finials and roundel joineries) and dates to the 1800s, although the double-sided platform was added more recently based on the varying patina and welded construction (the bottom is pinned).
An amazing, banded arabesque of scrolls and counter curves emanate from an open roundel, forming the double-sided slant-top platform. The platform is designed to swivel on a rod that runs through it; a ball finial tops the rod, flanked by a pair of Vitruvian waves that form a majestic crest. There is an arbalete edge that extends off both sides of the platform, providing a stable base for holding music...
