About the Item

This 19th-century French Louis XV-style walnut farinerio flour box exemplifies the perfect union of form and function. Crafted from warm-toned walnut, the box features intricately carved floral motifs on its front panel and apron, reflecting the delicate elegance of the Louis XV style. Its cabriole legs, scalloped apron, and finely turned tall finials enhance its graceful silhouette, adding to its decorative appeal. Traditionally used in French kitchens for dusting fish, particularly sardines, with flour before frying, this farinerio is a charming testament to France’s rich culinary history. The single drawer and hinged lid provide practical storage, while the carved detailing showcases exceptional craftsmanship. Today, this piece would make an enchanting decorative accent, blending rustic charm with historical significance. Ideal for kitchens, dining areas, or as a conversation piece, it celebrates both artistry and heritage.
