This set of two nesting bentwood pantry boxes dates to the 19th century and showcases the utilitarian beauty of early American craftsmanship. Each box is constructed from thin, steam-bent wood secured with tiny tacks and wooden pegs, forming a seamless oval shape. The warm patina developed over generations speaks to their age and use, while the nesting design highlights their practical origins for storing dry goods or small household items. Whether displayed on a shelf or used for discreet storage, these boxes offer a timeless glimpse into 19th-century domestic life.
