Description

Reclaimed Painted Wood Slat Storage Crate with Multicolor Patina

A rectangular open storage crate built from reclaimed wood, with vertical slatted sides framed by solid corner posts and horizontal rails. The mixed boards carry residual traces of their previous lives — washes of red, blue, green, and chalky white paint bleed across the grain, giving each face a different palette. Construction is sturdy and straightforward: butt-jointed corners, nailed slats, and a solid plank bottom.

Pieces like this typically originate from Indian or Indonesian workshops that repurpose old boat timbers, shutters, and architectural salvage into functional decor. The appeal is the surface — no two boards match, and the worn pigment reads as honest history rather than applied finish. Useful as a magazine bin, toy crate, plant caddy, or open shelf storage.


CONDITION

Good and sturdy with signs of use consistent with reclaimed construction. Cracks and splits present in several boards, including a stabilized split at one corner post and a separation along the interior base joint. Rustic by design — original paint remnants and tool marks are intended character, not damage.
