Vintage Architectural Salvage Engine Turned Oak Urn

Decorative engine turned vintage Oak urn, probably early to mid 20th Century, and an item of architectural salvage, which could be used as a bowl or a decorative/sculptural piece. It was clearly designed for attaching to some other structure and has a vertical hole from the base centre to the middle of the cup as well as four smaller holes from the base sides into the stem, whose purpose is unclear. It could have formed part of a staircase or the top of a door pediment or bookcase. There is nothing to suggest a cover was ever present. We dispatch within 3 working days, following cleared payment.
