Chamba Vintage Wooden Rope-Handled Pot (No. 2)

This stunning Chamba Vintage Wooden Rope-Handled Pot is a true piece of rustic heritage, approximately 80 years old and originally handcrafted in the hill region of Himachal Pradesh. Carved from a single block of dense, aged hardwood, the pot reflects both the skilled craftsmanship of its maker and the passage of time etched into its surface. The body of the pot features beautiful natural grains and charred streaks—possibly from years of use near open fire—adding a dramatic and visually captivating patina to the wood. Its mouth is flared and carved with subtle irregularities that speak to its hand-formed origins.

Wrapped around its neck is a thick, original rope, used for carrying or hanging the pot when it was still in use. This utilitarian element now serves as an authentic reminder of the pot’s cultural and functional past, adding texture and character. With dimensions of 6 x 6 x 11 inches, this pot has a strong, sculptural presence and works wonderfully as a rustic vase, an accent piece on a console, or grouped with other antique vessels for a curated vintage look. Whether placed in a modern home or a heritage setting, this one-of-a-kind artifact is sure to bring warmth, authenticity, and a sense of history to your space.
