Description

This book press is a striking example of 19th-century industrial craftsmanship—solid, utilitarian, and quietly elegant. Made of cast iron and brass, it features a robust screw mechanism topped with two sturdy handles capped with brass balls. The patina speaks to decades of use, leaving a timeworn beauty. The flat pressing plate and sturdy frame were designed to compress books or documents during the binding process, ensuring tight adhesion and a clean finish. Dimensions: Overall: 20” W x 10” D Up 18” H / Down 15” H Bay: 15” W x 10” D x 3” H (max) Condition: This book press is in overall good condition with dents and dings typical of age and use. The mechanism works smoothly up and down. The brass nut atop the press was smashed at some point throughout the years. Please note this item is very heavy, weighing at least 100lbs.
