Hand-carved from solid teak, its six deep apertures and beautifully worn surfaces reflect its original utilitarian purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThought to date from the \u003cstrong\u003elate 19th to early 20th century\u003c\/strong\u003e, generations of use have softened the timber, leaving a wonderfully tactile surface and rich natural patina. Its simple form and repeated circular openings give it an almost sculptural quality, making it as relevant within a contemporary interior today as it once was practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe love these pieces for their versatility. Display one simply as a \u003cstrong\u003estand-alone objet d’art\u003c\/strong\u003e, or use it as a small plinth to elevate treasured objects when styling a console, coffee table or shelf. With appropriately sized glass inserts, the apertures could be transformed into an unusual serving piece or candle holder, while small metal pots could be placed inside to hold little treasures or succulents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever it is used, this is an object with a wonderful sense of history – an everyday working tool from another time that has become a beautifully understated decorative piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEach sugar mould is an \u003cstrong\u003eindividual antique piece and will be selected at random\u003c\/strong\u003e.
