Early 20th Century Origin: Made in China in the early 1900s, this piece reflects a period when such tools were essential daily implements—now repurposed as vintage decor.
Versatile Decorative Use: Perfect as a sculptural centerpiece, storage box, or planter base, it adds texture and history to both rustic and modern interiors.
