The Memory of Motion
Vintage Carved Wooden Spice Box, Phool
About the Product
A hand-carved wooden spice box with a finely worked lid. It was made to keep the day's masalas within reach in an Indian kitchen.
Today it can hold small objects, keepsakes or everyday essentials. Or place it on a console, coffee table or shelf, where its carved lid and aged surface can be seen up close.
Each piece is one of a kind. Size, grain and markings vary from piece to piece. Photographs are close, but the piece may look slightly different in person and from different angles. Cracks, joints and surface marks are part of the original piece and add to the beauty of it.
About the Chapter
From The Memory of Motion, Origin & Form's first collection.
This piece has already made a journey. Long before it reached you, it moved: carried, wheeled, passed from hand to hand. It carries decades in its grain and the wear of the roads behind it.
You're not buying an object. You're buying the moment it stopped moving.
