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

$128.00

Here's an exceptional, early, staved wooden tavern tankard in very good condition! It was recently found hidden away in an attic and is very well preserved. It's style strongly resembles that of tankards of the Revolutionary War Period. Made of staved pine with chestnut lap bands, it's still tight, sturdy and sound, after all these years. It has an old, dry patina with rich, warm coloring and distinctive graining throughout. It shows age and wear. It has color variations, light abrasions, scratches and imperfections one would expect from a primitive piece that is around 200 years old. Despite this, there is no rot, infestation, or structural damage. Quite petite, it measures 6 1/4 inches high with an opening diameter of 3 3/4 inches. The bottom of this piece is nonconcentric with a diameter that ranges from 3 3/4 to 4 inches. This museum-quality piece is a true survivor that is ready to become the centerpiece of your collection!
