Primitive round bentwood pantry box with fitted lid, steam-bent construction with the classic lapped “finger” seam secured by copper tacks (visible on both the lid band and the base band). Rich dark stained finish with good honey-brown wood tone showing through on the interior curve of the bent wood. Lid sits with a shallow overlap rim. No maker’s mark visible. Country/primitive style, likely late 19th to early 20th century — consistent with traditional Shaker-inspired pantry boxes, though unmarked so attributed generically rather than to a specific maker.
Measurements: approximately 9” diameter x 5” high (AS IS, measured by hand, please allow for minor variance)
Condition: AS IS. Age-appropriate wear consistent with age throughout — surface scuffing, light scratches, and finish wear to the lid top; tack seams solid; no cracks or splits noted in photos. Please review photos closely as part of the item’s condition.
