{"product_id":"monumental-hand-carved-organic-wood-centrepiece-bowl","title":"Monumental Hand-Carved Organic Wood Centrepiece Bowl","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"201\" data-end=\"332\"\u003eMonumental in scale and carved from a single section of timber, this bowl is less an exercise in woodworking than one of restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"334\" data-end=\"673\"\u003eRather than imposing a form onto the wood, the maker has simply followed it, allowing every fissure, burr and weathered contour to dictate the finished piece. The polished interior offers a moment of calm before the timber erupts again around its perimeter, creating something that sits comfortably between functional object and sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"919\"\u003eThere is something deeply satisfying about the honesty of its construction. Nothing has been forced or disguised. Every split, knot and ripple in the grain has been embraced, giving the impression that the bowl was uncovered rather than carved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"921\" data-end=\"1234\"\u003eIts scale is exceptional. Wonderfully heavy and reassuringly permanent, it has the presence to anchor a large dining table, kitchen island or console without ever feeling ostentatious. Filled with fruit it becomes an extraordinary centrepiece; left empty it asks for very little, the timber doing all the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1236\" data-end=\"1529\"\u003eThe contrast between the silky, polished interior and the rugged, deeply sculpted exterior is what makes the piece so compelling. Tight ripples of growth rings catch the light inside the bowl, while the live edge retains all the drama of the original trunk—cracked, folded and richly textured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1606\"\u003eIt has the reassuring confidence of an object that doesn't need explaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"bpec4l\" data-start=\"1608\" data-end=\"1622\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1670\"\u003eHeight:  20cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1641\"\u003eWidth:   48cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1654\" data-end=\"1657\"\u003eDepth:  48 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1670\"\u003eWeight: 9 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1uef3h1\" data-start=\"1672\" data-end=\"1685\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1687\" data-end=\"1913\"\u003eExcellent vintage condition with minor age-related wear consistent with use.
