French Vintage Wooden Salt Cellar Or Box - "Sel

Unusual Style Rustic French Vintage Wooden Salt Cellar or Box / With Sel on the Lid / Quintessential French Farmhouse Kitchenalia Lovely French vintage wooden salt box/cellar from the foothills of the Pyrenees. Can be fixed to a wall (it has hooks on the back), or popped on a shelf, these are such a quintessential part of French farmhouse decor & every French kitchen would have had one. It is in nice age related condition with the usual signs of the passing of time & life lived in a busy kitchen! It has the word Sel in black on the lid, in pretty font, & it has an unusual design from the ones more commonly found. It has cane work to the back, & is a nod to the chair caning industry that was prevalent in the Barn, where I live. Useful for storing small bits & bobs, not just salt & will add a lovely rustic touch to your kitchen. It has been gently waxed to bring out its patina. Measurements Total height 20cm / 7.9 Width 17cm / 6.7 Depth 11cm / 4.3 I scour brocantes, vide greniers, auctions, & all sorts of nooks & crannies to find wonderful old French treasures & it is a passion that grows greater by the day.
