Product description
Antique small workshop bellows, traditionally made from wood, leather, and metal. Particularly compact in size, it was intended for tasks requiring a localized and precise air supply. Its small size and long, narrow metal nozzle clearly distinguish it from the large domestic bellows used for fireplaces. It is a tradesman's tool, designed for efficiency and maneuverability. Two wooden plates form the body of the object, joined by supple brown leather that forms the air reservoir, held in place around the perimeter by a series of small nails. A reinforcing leather band also surrounds the area at the base of the nozzle. One of the wooden plates retains its small, circular metal valve, allowing air intake when opened. At the end, the conical metal nozzle concentrated the air blast onto a small area. Its unusually small size now lends it great charm among a collection of antique tools and tradesmen's objects. The wood, leather, and metal parts show an antique patina, scuffs, and signs of use. The leather shows some wear on its edges. The object is preserved in its original antique condition. Total length approximately 16 cm. Maximum height approximately 8 cm. France, early 20th century.
