About the Item
A truly extraordinary find — this monumental burl wood vessel, hand-carved in the 1800s in Hälsingland, Sweden, is a rare fusion of nature’s wild artistry and human craftsmanship. Hollowed from a single, massive burl (vril), its dramatic organic form and richly textured surface tell a story of time, growth, and elemental beauty.
Measuring an impressive 80 cm in length, 60 cm in depth, and 53 cm in height, this piece captivates with its raw, sculptural presence. The undulating contours and deep natural crevices reveal the complex inner life of the wood, with rich variations in tone and intricate grain patterns throughout.
Perfect as a standalone sculptural centerpiece or as a unique vessel for creative interior applications, this rare object evokes a sense of Nordic mysticism and the sublime power of nature.
A true collector’s item — one-of-a-kind, boldly primitive, and utterly unforgettable.
