Wooden And Wrought-iron Grain Measure—late 18th And 19th Centuries; Folk Art, 18th–19th Centuries
A truncated cone-shaped measuring cup made of oak or walnut staves connected by three wrought-iron hoops (the bottom one is loose due to missing fasteners).
An engraving, likely a family name (to be deciphered), and the royal fleur-de-lis suggest it was manufactured during the Ancien Régime in the late 18th century.
Numerous successive official hallmarks from the Weights and Measures administration, with dates clearly distinguishable starting in 1801.
High-quality blacksmithing featuring two solid side handles with cut-out and openwork mounting plates.
Dimensions: height 22 cm – top diameter 14.5 cm – bottom diameter 20.5 cm.
A rare object in its original condition, forming a remarkable historical palimpsest, with a superb patina from use.
