Antique Wooden Slat Barrel with Metal Bands – 18 ¼" H

Description :
This antique wooden barrel features vertical wood slats secured with metal bands at the top and base, along with additional wire reinforcement around the body. The warm, aged wood shows natural grain variation and patina consistent with age and prior use. Measuring approximately 12 ½" in diameter and 18 ¼" high, the barrel has an open top and a solid wood base. The galvanized metal rim and bottom band provide structural support and add to its rustic industrial character. Visible dark staining inside suggests former utilitarian use, possibly for storage or agricultural purposes.
