19th c. French Mortar

France, 19th Century

$236 $295

A true 19th century French kitchen essential, this antique marble mortar and wooden pestle was made for the real work: grinding herbs, spices, garlic, and whatever else a farmhouse cook needed to turn into dinner. The thick, weighty bowl shows years of use, with a softly worn interior and beautifully rounded edges from generations of hands. Today, it’s still perfectly functional, but also makes a striking countertop piece, the kind of object that instantly makes a kitchen feel lived-in and well-stocked.
