The Memory of Motion
Vintage Old Wood Tray
About the Product
An aged Rajasthani wooden kharal, hand-carved in a distinctive elongated, boat-like form with a deep hollowed centre and projecting ends. Years of use have softened the heavy wooden form, leaving a beautifully worn interior, irregular edges, visible grain and a deep, warm patina. The cracks, worn surfaces and evolving patina are traces of time, use and hand, details that give each object its individual character.
Today, its elongated form lends itself gracefully to a console, centre table or shelf, where it can be used as a sculptural vessel for collected objects or simply appreciated for the character of its old wood.
Price mentioned is per product.
Each piece is one of a kind. Size, colour and markings vary from piece to piece. Photographs are close, but the piece may look slightly different in person and from different angles. Cracks, marks and tonal variation 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.
