Good morning!

I realize that it might not look that impressive in these photos, but I was thrilled to find this fabulous early winnowing tray. I come from generations of farmers, so pieces like this are particularly meaningful to me. I purchased this piece from the sweet and lovely Faye Kleman at EARLY COUNTRY ANTIQUES in Franklin, Ohio.

More Information on Winnowing Trays

A winnowing tray is a shallow, wide agricultural tool traditionally used to separate grain from chaff. Grains are tossed into the air, allowing the wind to blow away light hulls and dust while the heavier seeds fall back down.

Today, these utilitarian objects are highly prized by collectors for their rich history, organic textures, and striking visual presence.
