I'm not an expert on antique bentwood pantry boxes, but I've looked at enough to recognize a really beautiful and beautifully constructed one, and this, though missing a lid, is most definitely is that--to me it completely embodies why one might become obsessed with antique bentwood pantry boxes! The blue paint is, to my eye, just out of this world, as is the bleed from the neat row of fat iron nails down the seam. 19th century New England I believe with its original paint; heavy, super sturdy construction, and a truly fantastic presence. Ex. Richard Fleischner collection.
13 5/8" across at handle, 11 5/8" diameter, 6 1/4" t (with handle down.) Very good antique condition. Absent a lid as evident.
