Antique Mediterranean Farm Threshing Board Primitve Tribulum Bench or Table

About the Item

A most impressive antique Mediterranean threshing board repurposed as a bench or coffee table. This 19th century thresing board, also known as threshing sledge or tribulum, was an agricultural implement - farm tool used to separate cereals from their straw; having two thick wood planks with the frontal part somewhat narrower and curved upward (like a sled or sledge), and the bottom covered with partially inset hand-carved lithic stone flakes, now mounted on simple later wooden base. Bold, substantial sculptural form, full of antique character and rustic charm, it makes for a fascinating and unusual piece! Dimensions: (approx) 17" High, 65" Wide, 22" Deep Strong, sturdy, stable, and structurally sound. Presents splendidly, with beautifully aged weathered patina. Wear consistent with age and indicative of industrial use, including typical stone and wood losses. Later base. Overall a wonderful example! Please note, if you would like to use this as a coffee table / cocktail table we recommend topping it with a rectangular glass panel. If desired, for an additional charge we can have the glass top cut, please let us know right after placing your order.
