Description from the seller
Remarkable piece of craftsmanship, this traditional African drum has been repurposed into an original and decorative storage item.
Made from a cylinder covered with natural cowhide (mahogany brown flecked with white) and hand-tied with hemp rope in a diamond pattern evoking the tensioning techniques of African percussion, this drum conceals two invisible side drawers in its flank, with discreet handles.
A true conversation piece, it combines traditional musical form with practical function, perfect in an eclectic, bohemian, or ethnic interior.
Specifications:
Materials: wood, natural cowhide, plant-based rope
Origin: artisanal work, probably West Africa
Condition: very good overall; light wear
Dimensions (approx.): height 86 cm – top diameter 40 cm – bottom diameter 23 cm
Shipped in a custom-made wooden crate.
Seller's Story
Hello,
I am a French antique dealer based in Pau in the Southwest.
I specialize in furniture and decorative objects from the 19th century, particularly from the Napoleonic III period.
I also offer some 18th-century antiques, as well as furniture from the 1960s/70s.
For small item deliveries, I go through the regular mail.
For large items such as mirrors, furniture, etc., I ship with private carriers. I will keep you informed about the progress of the delivery.
