18th-Century French Wrought Iron Rotating Grill

This is an 18th-century French wrought iron grill, featuring a circular design with ornate wavy patterns. Its handforged quality is a testament to the skilled blacksmith work of the time.

The grill rests on three small legs, allowing it to sit directly on coals in a wood fired oven. It is built on an axle, enabling the meat (usually steak or fish) to be rotated to ensure even cooking. The long handle, with a loop at the end, adds practicality for moving or hanging the piece when not in use.

The iron has developed a rich rusted patina, contributing to its rustic charm. This grill will make a distinctive decorative accent in a farmhouse kitchen or summer kitchen.
