Product description
Antique wooden barrel with iron straps, traditional Central European cooperage originating from Central Europe and dated circa 1920. Originates from Central Europe, from the early 20th century, where traditional cooperage produced barrels for wine, beer or oil through the assembly of wooden staves and forged iron hoops. In the Central European wine and brewing tradition, barrels served for fermentation, transport and storage. Their characteristic form — vertical staves joined by progressive metal hoops — responds to the need to withstand the internal pressure of the liquid and allow the barrel to be rolled. Built from wooden staves joined edge to edge and reinforced by forged iron hoops distributed along the body. The body retains its original bulged form, characteristic of traditional cooperage. Some barrels retain the tap hole and traces of paint on the upper and lower edges. The patina retains the deep tone of wood aged by prolonged contact with liquid, with stains, marks and chromatic remains of the original paint integrated into the surface. The iron hoops show natural oxidation. The structure remains sound. It fits naturally in contemporary rustic, wabi-sabi, gastronomic and garden interiors. It works as an autonomous decorative piece, a planter, an improvised table support or a narrative element in a domestic wine cellar. The presence of the iron straps gives it an industrial character.
