Wood Sculpture Container from Old Water Mill Gear, China 1820-40

About the Item

This wood accent piece originally served as a section of gear work from a water mill in China. The deep worn patina of the rich hard wood is warm and inviting. May be used as a container for display of dried arrangement or simply as a unique organic style sculpture. Solid, waxed and ready for use. The many deep cracks, dings, gouges and related separation are reflective of age and use, and do not detract from the beauty of this unique find.
