Antique Primitive Staved Wooden Tavern Tankard, As Found, Original Grungy Untouched Patina

$149.00

Barn fresh and just as we found it, a very nice primitive wooden tavern tankard in very good, untouched condition! It was recently found hidden away in an old, barn and is dirty but very well preserved! It's style strongly resembles that of tankards of the Revolutionary War Period. It's made of staved pine with two iron bands that keep it tight, sturdy, and sound, even after all these years. It has an old, grungy, dark, untouched patina with rich coloring and distinctive graining peeking through. It shows plenty of age and wear, a testament to its age and authenticity. It has all the charms found with old wood including color variations, light abrasions, scratches, various residue, and imperfections one would expect from a primitive piece that is around 200 years old. Despite this, there is no rot, active infestation, or significant structural damage. This piece is intact, solid and rugged. Again, it's absolutely just as we found it, still dirty and dusty, cobwebs and all! No unpleasant smells. It will clean up well, if desired, but we know some our customers like items in as-found condition. This tankard, measures 9 1/4 inches high with a diameter of 6 inches at the top and 6 3/4 inches at the bottom. Including the handle, the entire piece measures 7 1/2 inches long. This is an early example of a colonial item that's not commonly found anymore. It's museum-quality and a true survivor that is ready to become the centerpiece of your collection! You won't be disappointed in this!
