Bring a genuine piece of mid-century kitchen history into your collection with this vintage Mouli Julienne shredder and salad maker.
Made in France, this hand-operated kitchen tool was designed to grate, shred and slice everything from cheese and vegetables to fruit and citrus peel. Its clever interchangeable-disc system offered several food-preparation options without electricity—a practical design that once earned a place in countless family kitchens.
This example includes the original all-metal Mouli Julienne unit, its distinctive red wooden crank knob, four interchangeable cutting discs and the wonderfully graphic triangular cardboard box. The packaging includes instructions and cutting-disc information in both English and French, along with the Toronto address of the Canadian distributor.
A handwritten label inside the lid reads “1954,” suggesting the set may date from approximately that year. The mustard-yellow packaging, period illustrations and bold black lettering give it excellent display appeal.
Whether displayed in a retro kitchen, added to a vintage utensil collection or used as an authentic prop, this is a memorable survivor from the days when kitchen tools were built from steel and powered by hand.
