About the Item

A piece that bridges the line between function and quiet artistry, this 19th-century English tobacco jar carries the charm of something handmade, meant to be lived with. Its barrel form is turned from alternating strips of walnut and maple, the dark and light woods stacked together to create a vertical stripe pattern that feels both deliberate and unstudied, as though rhythm were found rather than forced. The maple lid, topped with a simple turned knob, continues the sense of honest craft—nothing ornate, just the beauty of the materials and the steady hand that shaped them. Originally intended to hold tobacco, it now reads more like a small architectural study in wood, a kind of tabletop totem. There’s a folk art sensibility in its balance of utility and decoration, a quiet reminder of how everyday objects once carried a maker’s touch into the rhythms of daily life.
