  • Enormous and Great Condition Antique Bronze Morter and Pestle w. Satyr Sculpture
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Impressive, sculptural and highly decorative, 19th century morter. This near bucket-size morter is the largest and heaviest we have seen and owned to date and this wonderful antique is in excellent condition. Today they are mostly known for use in the kitchen, but in 19th century Europe these were mostly used by doctors, pharmacists and chemists for grinding and mixing substances into powders, for medicinal purposes. This all handcrafted eye catcher comes with a satyr (or sater) sculpture on the front and back and the handles are like gargoyles or grotesk busts. To give you a better idea of its large size we have placed a regular size antique morter next to it. This largest ever morter must have been owned and used by one very successful medicine making business, because with this giant morter one could produce a whole lot in one go. This rare and stunning morter will make great decoration (or educational material) in a doctor's office, in a pharmacy or any other place where medicine and healing are the main focus of attention. No matter where you decide to have this antique on display, it will never fail to impress. Mind you, our fair price for this handcrafted, solid bronze, rare, impressive, stylish and meaningful antique even includes perfect packing and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum height x diameter 8.1 x 10.2 inches. Length of the extra large pestle...
