Provençal wooden bread bin

Provençal bread bin in dark wood, consisting of a rectangular container formed by turned wooden columns, a small central door, and ending with four moulded wooden feet known as "candelés". The Provençal bread bin was designed to store and preserve bread at a time when it was made at home or in the communal oven. It flourished in the 18th century as a true social marker with its carved wooden decorations, resembling a sculpture in the homes of the wealthiest. It is typically wall-mounted while traditionally retaining its feet, and sometimes fabric adorns the door. Sturdy and sound, this bread bin is in very good overall condition. We have thoroughly cleaned and polished it to diminish the subtle signs of age. Ideal for storing food or any other items of your choice, it will add a vintage touch to your decor. Dimensions of the top shelf: L80 x D32 cm. Internal dimensions: H40 x L78 x D32 cm. Dimensions of the door: H35.5 x L18 cm.
