Wall Box
Salt boxes were originally used to store salt, candles or other edible items where the mice could not get to them. Candles were made of tallow (animal fat) and were irresistible to mice. The handsome proportions and simple moldings identify this box's shaker inspired origins. The drawer was dovetailed by hand and carefully fitted to the case using a hand plane, marking gauge and chisels. The finish is nitrocellulose lacquer over stained pine. Price: $100 |
