For many decades, or for that matter centuries, virtually every French kitchen had a special box for keeping flour ('farine' is the French word). This is one of those emblematic items that was in most kitchens of Provence, but now they are rarely found, especially in good condition...and they are highly collectable. This rare example dates from the late 19TH.
This 'fariniere', made of walnut, is in the traditional early 'box' shape with a sliding front panel. This antique flourer was hand-crafted with a charming fishing theme carving on the sliding panel. This fariniere is unusual in that it was intended only to hang.
This fine box, with its charming decoration is in excellent antique condition, with some expected woodworm and minor signs of use. (Please see photos for additional condition information.) It would be a fine decorative piece which would add an authentic 'Provencal' touch to a French kitchen decor.
The measurements are 15" (38 cm) from top to bottom at the forehead, 3.9" (10 cm) inches deep, and 9" (23 cm) wide across the forehead.

A rare and fabulous addition to a French Provencal Country style kitchen...



Careful and high-quality packaging.
