Primitive Hand-Carved Wooden Trough, 19th Century

About the Item

A deeply textured, primitive hand-carved wooden trough. Shaped from a single piece of solid wood, this piece shows centuries-old artisanal methods and a timeless utilitarian aesthetic. The irregular oval form and natural surface wear suggest long-term use, possibly for food preparation, grain storage, or washing. Its rough-hewn surface, with cracks, abrasions, and patina, gives it a raw, sculptural beauty that fits seamlessly in wabi-sabi, rustic, or minimalist environments. This piece can serve as a statement object — displayed on its own, as a vessel for natural arrangements, or integrated into a quiet, earthy interior.
