Early 20th Century French Hand-Carved Flour Box

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A finely crafted French flour box dating from the early 20th century, showcasing the skill of a cabinetmaker-sculptor and reflecting the traditions of master furniture making. Entirely hand-carved, this vertical box features richly detailed floral and foliate motifs across the front panel, framed by shaped uprights and crowned with turned finials. The craftsmanship demonstrates both decorative intention and functional design, elevating a utilitarian object into a sculptural piece.

Originally intended for kitchen or pantry use, the box retains its authentic character, with a warm, naturally aged patina that highlights the depth of the carving. The proportions are elegant and well balanced, making it equally suitable today as a decorative accent, wall-mounted storage, or statement piece in a rustic or European-inspired interior.

A rare and charming example of early 20th century French folk craftsmanship, valued for its artistry, originality, and preserved historical character.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
