A gorgeous, hardwood, bread box. It is perfect for demi-baguettes and loaves, as well as croissants and pastries. Dark stained with a hinged flap lid, that is fitted to stay closed at all times, when not in use, so you don't have to worry that you might have left the flap up! It is heavy, weighing 2.8kgs/ 6.2 lbs. It can sit stylishly on the kitchen surface or floor, according to preference. It has "breathing" slats in a panel at the front, for optimizing air circulation, keeping the bread fresh. It stands 54.5cms/ 21½" at it's tallest, is 26cms/ 10¼" at it's widest and is 22cms/ 8½" deep. The actual "box" compartment is 34cms/ 13¼" tall x 23cms/ 9" wide x 20cms/ 7¾" deep. In amazing condition, it does have some surface scratches and a few small gouges in the lid, consistent with it's age and use, giving it a fabulous vintage patina, essential for authenticity and charm.
