Large 19th Century Burl Walnut Bowl with Iron Repairs and Handles

About the Item

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 stands out for its authenticity and tactile beauty. Its weathered surface and iron mends speak to an object both utilitarian and enduring—a rare survivor of pre-industrial domestic life.
