1773 Boston Harbor Barrel Pet Bed

Reclaimed Bourbon Barrel Pet Bed — Colonial Hearth Charm for a Loyal Companion

In early America, a faithful dog was more than company — it was a guardian at the homestead, a companion on the hunt, and a quiet sentinel by the hearth. Inspired by that heritage, this handcrafted pet bed gives new purpose to a genuine American bourbon barrel, restoring oak once shaped by master coopers and seasoned by years of service in the distillery.

We reclaim each barrel with the same discipline our forefathers brought to timber and trade. Once dried and settled, the barrel is carefully cut, rings secured, and surfaces hand-sanded to preserve the honest marks of its life — char, grain, cooper stamps, and timeworn curve. It is then sealed with multiple coats of finish, protecting the oak while honoring its rugged, storied character.

Measuring ≈ 23" in diameter × 9" tall, this raised barrel cradle lifts your companion off the cold floor, offering a secure and comfortable resting place. A plush faux-fur cushion is included — soft, warm, and inviting, just as a well-kept hearth should be. Whether tucked beside the fireside, in a cozy study, or in a welcoming tavern-style corner of the home, it is both faithful in function and proud in presence.

A barrel once worked to mature America’s finest spirits — now reborn to cradle a loyal friend with comfort and grace.
