19th Century Oyster Sticks + Stands, Set of Four. Original Price: $1,200
SOLD!
Design Plus Gallery presents a Set of Four Oyster Sticks from the 19th Century. Oyster sticks are individually constructed from single pieces of solid oak. The poles were attached to overhead ropes and hung vertically down into the water, (typically estuaries), and this was the beginning of fish farming. The oyster sticks moved with the tide and became pickled by the sea salt and air, making them very hard wearing and long lasting. As the years pass, the wood erodes around the lime and the holes become increasingly prominent. These examples are over a hundred years old and have developed and amazing sculptural form and wonderful driftwood colour and surface. They are in original and good condition for their weathered usage.
