Antique French Manual Hole-Making Machine

About the Item

Manual hole-making machine. Probably used for precision work on leather, paper or small metals. The structure is composed of a solid wood base, with a stepped design, giving stability and elegance to the piece. The upper part is formed by a decorated cast iron mechanism, which includes a metal lever with a rounded wooden handle, facilitating operation. The drilling mechanism works manually, by pressing the lever to apply force to the drill, which descends vertically onto the piece to be worked. The iron features decorative details, highlighting the period of manufacture and the care taken in the industrial aesthetics of the time. This type of tool was widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, being common in bookbinding and leatherwork workshops and even in offices for punching documents.
