Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is definitely a beautiful piece of turned wood that would make a great addition to your collection of wood turnings.

Condition: The piece is in very good condition with no cracks, no breaks, no repairs, and no losses. The surface finish is a bit worn off especially on top of the lid. The inside has a spot that is darker in color, we are unsure if it is the natural color of the wood or a discoloration due to some soiling or staining. The feet are well in place and you can see residue of the glue around the spot where the feet and the bottom of the barrel meet. This would make a great addition to your collection of primitive Americana. Please see photos to appreciate its beauty and for additional condition information.
