Vernacular Rustic Beehive, France, 19th Century

Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
This exceptional 19th-century wooden beehive stands apart for its unusually refined craftsmanship and rich detailing. Carved from a solid tree trunk, it features carefully shaped contours, decorative ventilation panels, and elaborate hand-forged iron hardware. The balance between utility and ornament suggests it was made for a prosperous estate rather than purely subsistence farming. Its surface shows intentional finishing beyond the purely functional, giving it a dignified and sculptural presence. Today, it can also be appreciated as a distinctive side table or used as a storage object, bridging historical function with contemporary interior use.
