Vintage 19th Century French Wood Wine Hod Highgate Counter artA rare find from nineteenth century France, this bent wood wine hod reflects the quiet ingenuity of coopering, where heat and patience persuaded staves into a lasting curve. Shaped to cradle the days harvest or a cellars work, it features handles to either side for an easy, balanced carry. Honest wear and a time softened patina lend it the presence of an object that once lived at the center of seasonal ritual.
