A charming vintage wall pocket, hand-carved with subtle folk art detail - the kind of piece that feels straight out of an old country kitchen. Likely dating from the mid-20th century, it’s been beautifully handmade from warm-toned wood with a softly curved back and simple circular carvings across the front.
Traditionally, these were used as letter racks or to hold recipe cards, dried herbs, or even candles by the hearth - the kind of everyday utility piece that now feels wonderfully decorative.
There are a few little white paint splatters here and there (the result of a life well lived!) and some light surface wear, but nothing that takes away from its rustic charm.
Style it in a hallway for post, in the kitchen for notes and scissors, or fill it with dried stems to bring a little natural texture to your walls.
