Antique c1870 forged iron chateau wine press disassembled - would make an ideal feature for barn restoration, winery or wine bar

A cast iron wine press approximately 150 years old from Chateau Carsac near Bordeaux. This is an early Marmonier style mechanism and includes most of the ratchet and the central screw thread 11cm diameter and 230 cm long although one or two smaller ratchet pieces are missing. Basket (these are widely available) not included.

The mechanism is an earlier version of the one shown in the picture, there are numerous images and documents on the web about how these are assembled.
It could easily be built into a traditional wooden frame (see optional timbers) and would make a stunning feature. The thread alone weighs 200kg, it was used to press 250,000 bottles a year until about 1950...

It comes complete with some wine memorabilia including one of the original cuve doors with fittings about 48 cm x 34 cm and two brass brass drainage spigots approximately 16 cm long.

Sensible offers are invited.

I also have 4 old oak beams approx 2m40x15x15 which could be used for the frame at the bottom for an additional few £
