Large 19th Century Burl Walnut Bowl with Carved Footed Base

About the Item

A substantial hand-carved burl walnut bowl from the 19th century, notable for its generous proportions, richly textured grain, and honest signs of age and use. Measuring over 26 inches in diameter, this sculptural wooden vessel was likely used as a communal serving or dough bowl, shaped from a single piece of dense walnut with a striking natural burl pattern. The exterior bears deep tool marks and facets from its original carving process, especially evident on the underside, where the shallow foot ring has been chiseled in relief. The surface shows a beautiful play of texture and tone, with variations in color that speak to the wood’s age and organic complexity. Light cracks and edge wear are consistent with historic use and add to the bowl’s tactile presence. Well-suited as a rustic centerpiece or sculptural display object in both country and contemporary interiors, this bowl celebrates material authenticity and traditional craftsmanship. Whether placed on a dining table, kitchen island, or oversized console, it invites the eye — and the hand — to linger.
