Buyer's Premium: 18%

A modernist French press coffee maker featuring a cylindrical body of polished white metal construction. The vessel is designed with a distinctive angled cylindrical projection supporting a tapered wooden handle, likely teak?, which terminates in a diagonal slant-cut. The interior of the pouring spout is fitted with an integrated perforated strainer. The plunger mechanism comprises a white metal rod and domed lid topped with a circular knob, attached to a black composite filter plate featuring graduated circular perforations and a peripheral seal. While the form is highly characteristic of the Freud design, no maker’s name or manufacturer’s marks are legible on the surfaces. The piece displays a minimalist, mid-century aesthetic consistent with contemporary stainless steel kitchenware.
