At a time when bread, a precious commodity, had to be kept for at least a week, strange little pieces of furniture appeared.
Originally simple wooden crates, it was in 19th-century Provence that panetières became increasingly sophisticated.
This Provençal panetière is no exception.
It opens with a surface-mounted door mounted on an iron hinge and fitted with an original, functional safe lock with key.
The openwork front and sides are trimmed with a succession of spindle-turned bars.
The front jambs, also turned, end in small crow's feet.
The carved bottom rail and pediment are embellished with flower and scroll motifs.
This regional conservation piece is crowned at all four corners, as well as on the front, with plumes also known as mouchets or bobèches.
The interior is composed of seven slats.
This "panetière", a witness to the customs and traditions of yesteryear, will add a traditional touch to your kitchen, or else make a delightful and original storage space.
