Antieke houten graanmaat ‘Double Décalitre’ – 20 liter –...

Antique wooden grain measure ‘Double Décalitre’ – 20 liters – probably France, late 19th century A sturdy piece of agricultural history with a beautiful, well-worn appearance. This cylindrical grain measure combines warm-toned wood with wide iron bands and riveted reinforcing strips. The faded inscription ‘DOUBLE DÉCALITRE’ still clearly recalls its original function. The pronounced wood grain, dark iron patina, and old marks give this a characterful object. An iron crossbar runs along the opening, connected to a vertical support to the base: a distinctive construction detail of this type of capacity. Twenty liters of commercial history ‘Double Décalitre’ literally means double decaliter and stands for a nominal content of 20 liters. Such measures were used to measure grain and other dry agricultural products by volume in trade and exchange. Similar wooden and iron examples are known from nineteenth-century France. The French inscription and execution also point to a probable French origin for this grain measure. The object was purchased in Friesland. Dating to the end of the nineteenth century is plausible, though manufacturing in the early twentieth century cannot be ruled out.
