{"product_id":"large-antique-french-weathered-kitchen-bowl","title":"Large Antique French Weathered Kitchen Bowl","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis large antique French kitchen bowl is hewn from heavy reddish brown wood, its deep interior scored and cracked into a checkerboard of grain by generations of use. A pale wood insert set into the rim and small metal straps on the outer wall are repairs, each one a record of a bowl kept in service instead of replaced. The outside has worn smooth and dark, and the rim carries the knocks and tool marks of a working kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 26 inches across and 7 inches tall, it holds a generous centerpiece of fruit or branches on a farmhouse table, sits low on a console, or leans on its edge as a sculptural piece against a wall. The textured interior catches window light and gives the bowl a strong shape from any angle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood, metal strap repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26\" diameter x 7\"(H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reddish brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique.

How can I tell if a wooden bowl is genuinely old?\u003cbr\u003eLook for tool marks from an adze or gouge, shrinkage cracks that follow the grain, a worn and uneven rim, and repairs made with old materials. Newer bowls tend to have even walls and a uniform surface.\u003cbr\u003e2. Which decor styles suit a French country wooden bowl?\u003cbr\u003eIt suits French country, farmhouse, Mediterranean and organic modern interiors. The deep reddish tone warms a neutral room, and the rough texture contrasts well with smooth plaster, linen and stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e**Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68286694850797,"sku":"IMG_0980","price":745.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/IMG_0980_726d6e4c-d76b-4795-b410-3106275b5c8a.jpg?v=1794516471","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/large-antique-french-weathered-kitchen-bowl","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
