Long ago, an Indonesian artisan living on Lombok, an island well known for its weaving, made his living using this handsome hand-crafted drill. The antique tool is beautifully constructed with timeworn materials - the ferrule tip is copper, the tapered handle is iron and the spiral shaft is carved of hardwood with a woven reed stop. Still functional, the drill is highly sculptural in the fluidity of its form. A discerning collector traveling to Lombok on behalf of a museum purchased this tool over 30 years ago, and today it lives on as a storied keepsake of the past.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
