Description
C-20371
Handmade seed sifter constructed with a thick wooden frame and integrated metal screening grid, designed for separating seed, soil, or chaff in agricultural use. The frame is built from solid wood boards with visible joinery and wear at the corners, forming a deep rectangular body. Inside, a rigid metal grate with evenly spaced slotted openings is mounted securely, with an upper secondary perforated plate visible along the back edge, suggesting multi-stage sifting capability. The construction reflects a purely functional approach—sturdy, repairable, and built to withstand repeated seasonal use. Wear to the wood edges and smoothing along the lower lip indicate frequent handling and contact during sifting. The metal grid remains intact and firmly set, showing oxidation consistent with age but no structural compromise.
Shows moderate to heavy wear including edge wear, surface abrasion, and oxidation to metal components. Wood frame remains solid with expected age-related wear and minor imperfections.
12” W x 18” D x 3.5” H
