The front retains its wonderful original maker’s plaque reading “Crouard Frères, Constructeurs, 5 Rue d’Anjou, Paris.”

The piece features a tall cylindrical reservoir held within an architectural brass frame, with beautifully aged brass surfaces and an appealing warm patina. The clear cylinder appears to be a later plastic or acrylic replacement for what may originally have been glass.please not the original brass lid is missing.

A fascinating piece of early French commercial equipment that now makes a highly decorative kitchen, café, bar, or restaurant accent. Particularly attractive for a French country, traditional, industrial, or collected European interior.

Please note: Although original brass lid is missing, the original makers name plate and all brass fittings are still intact and it still dispenses whole coffee beans. See less
