Iron Bound Teak Grain Measure From Rajasthan - 19th Century

This beautifully restored 19th-century grain measure from Rajasthan is hand-carved from solid teak and bound with riveted iron straps. Once a practical tool in Indian marketplaces, it was used to measure wheat, corn, rice, and pulses€”often in traditional units known as seers and pattis.

Its warm, timeworn patina€”enhanced by skilled restoration€”reveals the rich character of the teak, while the iron banding adds striking contrast and structural integrity. The piece retains all the charm and authenticity of its utilitarian past, while now offering sculptural appeal for contemporary interiors.

A versatile accent for the home, this piece works beautifully as a decorative object or an unusual waste paper basket. Its compact size and honest craftsmanship make it an easy addition to rustic, wabi-sabi, or eclectic spaces.
