About the Item
This 19th-century birchwood bowl is a beautifully aged example of early domestic craftsmanship, turned from a single piece of wood and marked by generations of use. Measuring 12.25 inches across and 5 inches high, the bowl features a slightly asymmetrical profile and a warm, honeyed tone that reflects both the grain of the birch and its natural aging process.
The surface is richly worn, with a network of fine cracks, tool marks, and oxidation that speak to decades—if not centuries—of utilitarian handling. Incised rings near the rim and along the body add a subtle decorative rhythm and showcase the maker’s hand. The foot remains unmarked but shows appropriate wear from tabletop contact.
This type of bowl would have originally served as a mixing or dough bowl, but today it brings warmth and authenticity to modern interiors, whether styled in a kitchen, placed on a farmhouse table, or used as a sculptural object in a more minimalist setting. Its timeworn surface and tactile presence make it a soulful piece of vernacular history—functional, elemental, and quietly powerful.

Large 19th Century Burl Walnut Bowl with Iron Repairs and Handles
Located in Atlanta, GA
A substantial 19th-century carved burl walnut bowl with a powerful rustic presence, generous proportions, and layered history. Measuring approximately 29.75 inches wide, 25.5 inches deep, and 7 inches high, this oval vessel was hewn from a single piece of dense walnut and bears the textured marks of time and repeated use.
The surface is worn smooth from handling, yet still retains areas of rugged character—tool marks, subtle variations in tone, and a visible patched repair in hammered iron on one side. A second repair is visible underneath, where iron straps were applied across an old split—evidence of the piece’s practical value and the care taken to preserve it. Flat-handled grips at either end are integrated into the carved form, enhancing functionality without interrupting the clean silhouette.
Ideal as a dramatic centerpiece or sculptural accent on a farmhouse table or console, this antique bowl...
