Description:

Antique Chinese Wooden Rice Measure with Hand-Forged Iron Strapping

A striking antique Chinese rice measure, hand-carved from solid wood and reinforced with original hand-forged iron strapwork. This utilitarian vessel features a beautifully worn, richly patinated surface with visible grain, tool marks, and age-darkened finish that highlight its handmade character.

The form is strengthened with riveted iron braces throughout, along with a central wooden divider, giving the piece both structure and visual interest. The iron elements retain a deep, oxidized patina, adding to its authentic rustic appeal.

A versatile and sculptural piece, ideal for use as a decorative vessel, firewood holder, or statement accent in rustic, farmhouse, or wabi-sabi interiors. A genuine example of traditional craftsmanship with strong visual presence.

Condition is consistent with age and use. There are cracks and wear to the bottom wood, along with surface imperfections, edge wear, and areas of old repair, all of which contribute to its character while the piece remains solid and display-worthy.
