Early 20th Century Chinese Wooden Rice Measure with Copper Fittings – Collectible with Rich Patina
Description:
This authentic Chinese rice measure, crafted in wood with copper and blackened metal fittings, dates from the early 20th century and was traditionally used for measuring and transporting rice. Featuring hand-assembled wooden planks joined with metal corner reinforcements, this piece displays a rich brown patina that testifies to its age and use. A functional tool of rural Chinese life, it now stands as a beautiful decorative object or collector's piece, ideal for adding authentic character and cultural depth to an interior.
Key features include:
Traditional Chinese Craftsmanship: Constructed with fine wooden planks, joined and stabilized with blackened metal brackets and copper fittings, this measure showcases practical design rooted in vernacular tradition.
Warm Natural Patina: The deep brown wood tones and aged copper highlights reveal a beautiful oxidation and surface wear, offering an aesthetic of timeworn authenticity.
Early 20th Century Origin: Made in China in the early 1900s, this piece reflects a period when such tools were essential daily implements—now repurposed as vintage decor.
Versatile Decorative Use: Perfect as a sculptural centerpiece, storage box, or planter base, it adds texture and history to both rustic and modern interiors.
Collector’s Appeal: A sought-after item for collectors of antique Asian objects, particularly those interested in domestic cultural heritage pieces.
