Description
A lovely antique large and substantial 19th century Indian wooden bowl, made from one piece of timber.
I would date this this piece to the mid-to-late Victorian era, but it could well be earlier.
It measures approx. 68 x 38 x 10cm.
I've taken as many pictures as possible so you can see what a great primitive decorative piece this is - the depth of colour and the shape make a real decorative statement. A fabulous patina and colour.
It's certainly seen some wear over its long life as a working antique, but this adds to its charm.
A really beautiful piece of tribal ware. These old bowls are becoming scarcer and more sought-after every year...
