Old Teak Drums

These drums were hand carved out of solid teak trunks for ceremonial purposes, and were repainted each time. In the restoration process the layers of paint are revealed, creating a unique lustrous surface, the color and texture of which is spectacular and tells its own story. Finally, bottoms are added. Currently we have a choice collection, and each drum is one of a kind. These antique drums are rare, once they are gone, they will not and cannot be reproduced. They can be displayed as objets d’art, or may function as plant/ikabana, umbrella holders, or with a glass top and metal base they can be converted into tables. Chista
