Description

Very large, long wooden dough trough, bin or trencher made in the 1920s probably, though hard to date accurately; could be 20 years either way. Made in Eastern Europe, most likely, very rustic (though hardly primitive), it's been hewn out of a single trunk of a hard wood tree, maybe elm. The gouged chisel marks are all across the inside. Super rounded shape to the back. Condition is pretty good structurally: it's solid enough; a shake split in one end (see pics) but doesn't move. Slight split in one side edge. A hole has been made in each corner, probably for a stand. The end edges have been damp and a bit bashed but basically ok. Some old woodworm holes; long gone but we've treated the whole thing anyway. Cosmetically there are lots of marks and dings etc, hardly worth calling faults in a piece like this. Some greening to the back from algae. Dimensions: 180cm x 63cm x 29cm
