This stunning, 26-inch tall cylinder transforms its roots as a utilitarian vessel (likely a long-term storage or grain container) into a singular piece of Sculptural Treenware. Dating to the early 20th Century, this piece was meticulously carved from a single log of native hardwood. The unique character is all in the finish: an incredibly rare, natural aged patina. The rich, dark surface has aged and oxidized unevenly, causing the pronounced vertical wood grain to stand out like streaks of reddish-brown and deep, polished black. This effect is completely organic—a fingerprint of history that cannot be replicated—elevating the piece to Folk Art status and giving it an undeniable elegance.
This tall, narrow vessel is an instant focal point, perfect for spaces needing a sophisticated, dark accent with supreme texture. Its blend of vertical elegance and rough, primitive surface makes it a powerful accent in Minimalist, Contemporary, and High-End Eclectic homes.
Use it as a Grand Side Table: This is the most compelling use. Its 26-inch height is perfect as an occasional table next to a low sofa or chair. Simply top it with a custom-cut 14 to 16-inch circular slab of glass, limestone, white marble, or thick live-edge wood to create a stunning, custom-built side table.. Or make it a Vertical Contrast Accent: The narrow, upright form is ideal for tight spaces, adding depth and history without taking up floor volume. Place a simple, tailored dried grass arrangement inside to highlight the striking marbleized finish of the wood.
