About the Item

This charming small kitchen shelf likely served as a storage space for bottles or other containers filled with everyday ingredients. The wooden bar in the center suggests it was also used for carrying items around. This central bar would have helped separate the carried items, preventing them from moving around. Crafted from wood, the shelf's construction is simple yet enduring. Its weathered appearance shows years of active use, giving it a character that speaks of its long history. The back with its gentle curves and carved-out shapes, is typical for the rustic charm of Swiss and German farmhouse aesthetics. Traditionally, farmers would craft their furniture during the colder winter months, making them with modest yet delightful decorations, often featuring hand-painted floral motifs. Given its material and design, it is plausible to estimate that this shelf originates from the late 19th century and comes from a Swiss mountain chalet.
