Vintage French wooden grape barrel with backstraps
A large hand hewed wood, iron and leather straps vineyard grape picking barrel. A beautiful piece offering many practical uses, including storage for firewood, towels, plants and of course Dom Pérignon Champagne - lots of it! For those lucky enough to have a wine tasting room, this piece is a truly worthy addition establishing a real sense of place. This will add great warmth to a contemporary interior, and a true piece of history to any room. The barrel is in excellent condition with minor wear to the straps and the irons top handles holding the straps, and one very small chip in the wood at the front edge (Hard to see in the pictures) Found this at an estate sale in New York and had been sitting in a closet for decades, most likely is a vintage promotion piece. Very cool estate find!
