La Farge 2 Pump
La Farge 2 Pump is an old, cast-iron hand water pump set against a stone wall in a rural setting, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century. It has a long lever handle and a spherical finial on top.
La Farge 2 Pump is a vertical, cast-iron water pump of traditional design. It stands mounted on a small concrete base next to a dry-stone wall made of limestone, typical of rural French architecture. The pump’s body is a cylindrical barrel, weathered with age and bearing a rusty brown patina. At its top sits a decorative spherical finial, with a stepped collar just below. A long manual lever handle is attached and pivots from the upper section; its lower end forms a closed loop, giving a comfortable grip for pumping. Water would be dispensed through a spout that protrudes from the upper midsection of the pump.
