A beautifully sculptural circa 1900 French wine press screw, reimagined as a striking plant stand. Originally part of a traditional grape press, this hand-carved wooden screw would have been turned to gradually apply pressure, extracting juice from crushed grapes in the time-honored process of winemaking. Its rhythmic, spiral form is both functional and visually captivating: an authentic piece of French agricultural history brought into a modern setting.
Now repurposed, it serves as a refined yet rustic pedestal—perfect for showcasing a favorite plant, vessel, or decorative object. The rich wood grain, warm tone, and time-earned patina give it a grounded, architectural presence.
Dimensions:
42.5” H
Base: 12.5” square
Good overall condition consistent with age and use. Minor surface wear including light scratches and small nicks throughout. Age-related hairline cracks and natural wood movement are visible along the screw, along with subtle variations in tone. The piece remains solid and stable, with wear that enhances its character and authenticity.
