This unique early 20th-century bistro "boule à éponge" is a fascinating piece of café history. Crafted from cast iron and brass, it was traditionally used for cleaning down tables in bistros and cafes. The spherical brass container, supported by an ornate cast iron stand, features a simple lid that can be quickly opened and closed, effectively keeping the sponges moist.
