Peugeot Frères Mid-20th Century Manual Coffee Grinder

A French box-style manual coffee grinder manufactured by Peugeot Frères. The piece features a light-coloured wooden body, likely beech, constructed with finger-jointed corners. It is topped with a metal hopper and lid finished in a red-orange enamel. The grinder is operated by a top-mounted steel crank handle with a spherical wooden knob. At the base is a small wooden pull-out drawer designed to collect the ground coffee. The front of the wooden casing bears a shield-shaped decal with a graphic of a lion walking on an arrow, accompanied by the text Marque Déposée and Peugeot Frères. This specific model and logo style are characteristic of Peugeot production from the mid-20th century, circa 1950-1960.
