About the Item

This 19th-century French Louis XV-style walnut farinerio flour box embodies both functional ingenuity and decorative charm. Intricately carved floral motifs adorn the front panel, reflecting the refined elegance of the Louis XV style, while the cabriole legs and scalloped apron enhance its graceful silhouette. Topped with tall, finely turned finials, the box exudes an air of sophistication. Traditionally used in French kitchens for coating fish, particularly sardines, in flour before frying, this farinerio highlights a rich culinary history. The warm walnut wood showcases a beautiful patina that adds to its antique character. Today, this piece would serve as a captivating decorative accent, blending rustic charm with historical significance. Perfect for a kitchen, dining area, or as a unique conversation piece, it celebrates both craftsmanship and heritage.
