About the Item
This striking bowl, carved from richly grained burl teak wood, dates back to the early 20th century and carries a unique story of transformation. Originally crafted as a drum from the island of Java, Indonesia, its history is still evident in the evenly spaced holes along the rim—once used to secure a drum skin tightly in place. Over time, the piece has taken on new life as a sculptural bowl, blending utilitarian heritage with modern aesthetic sensibility. The burl wood showcases intricate swirls, knots, and organic figuring, with a warm, earthy patina developed through age and use. Natural erosion and wear along the rim and base add texture and character, enhancing its rustic charm. This one-of-a-kind object embodies both craftsmanship and cultural history—perfect as a centerpiece, vessel, or conversation piece in any curated space.

Large 19th Century Burl Walnut Bowl with Iron Repairs and Handles
Located in Atlanta, GA
A substantial 19th-century carved burl walnut bowl with a powerful rustic presence, generous proportions, and layered history. Measuring approximately 29.75 inches wide, 25.5 inches deep, and 7 inches high, this oval vessel was hewn from a single piece of dense walnut and bears the textured marks of time and repeated use.
The surface is worn smooth from handling, yet still retains areas of rugged character—tool marks, subtle variations in tone, and a visible patched repair in hammered iron on one side. A second repair is visible underneath, where iron straps were applied across an old split—evidence of the piece’s practical value and the care taken to preserve it. Flat-handled grips at either end are integrated into the carved form, enhancing functionality without interrupting the clean silhouette.
Ideal as a dramatic centerpiece or sculptural accent on a farmhouse table or console, this antique bowl...
