Early 19th Century Country Ladies Kitchen Work Box
A delightful Early 19th Century Country Kitchen Work Box, made of richly aged wood with gracefully scalloped sides and a center carrying handle. Once used by a lady or housemaid in a country home to hold sewing, mending, or kitchen tools, this charming piece reflects the beauty of simple, well-made things. Made by someone for his lady love, this utilitarian yet decorative work box or tote would have been an indispensable part of a lady’s household, used for carrying and storing kitchen essentials, sewing, or small domestic tasks. Hand-crafted with graceful scalloped sides and a central cut-out handle, this tray bears the wear earned from generations of use, one side is missing a curve as shown.
A wonderful accent for today’s home, it can be used to hold linens, silver, or fresh herbs in the kitchen. Whether displayed in your kitchen holding linens and silver, or used to corral favorite finds on a sideboard, this antique piece adds a touch of authentic country house charm to any setting. During the holidays, fill it with evergreens, oranges, and candles for a beautiful rustic centerpiece that celebrates the spirit of the season. The timeworn surface tells the story of generations of use, lovely patina with marks, wear, and character consistent with age and use.
