About the Item

Bought from an Antiques shop in Sweden, this charming, richly patinated tripod bowl table is hewn from a solid log of Rosewood - weighing in at 7kg, it's an incredibly extravagant use of a very expensive timber! It shows the most skilled hand woodworking, using a tool similar to an axe, to create the most incredible adze marks, that shimmer in the light. The thick chamfered top has been gently carved away to form a shallow bowl, and the combination of figured rosewood adze marks, which have then been polished, make for a very tactile piece. The heavy top is supported by three tapered and stained nut-coloured oak legs. This nice country piece is very difficult to date, but it certainly has the most wonderful patina that only time could bring, as seen in the images.
