About the Item
Late 19th Century French Hollowed Tree Trunk Vessel with Iron Bands
A sculptural and commanding French vessel carved from a single tree trunk, dating to the late 19th century. This rustic container showcases the raw elegance of natural materials and traditional craftsmanship. The cylindrical form is punctuated by five hand-forged iron bands, which both reinforce the structure and create a bold graphic rhythm around the weathered surface.
Vertical age cracks are present and visible, adding authentic character without compromising functionality — the sturdy iron bands maintain the vessel’s form and stability. The wood surface displays rich patina, tool marks, and organic irregularities that reflect its utilitarian past and provincial origins.
Whether used as a planter, umbrella stand, firewood bin, or simply as a sculptural accent, this vessel makes a statement in both refined and rustic settings.
