Coffee Mill, France

The wooden coffee mill from France is believed to date from the reign of Louis XIII (1601–1643), and to have been used for more than 200 years until it was purchased for the Museum in Lyons in 1887. It has a wooden body and detachable wooden drawer, with a metal top and arm crank.
