Shaker Box – Large

Description

Curator’s Notes

The construction of these oval shaker style boxes is incredible! They feature the same swallowtail projections as traditional shaker boxes but instead of a wood construction these are made of natural vegetable tanned leather. In the past they were often used to store dry pantry items like flour, sugar or spices but these versions by Hender Scheme are so beautiful we can see them being used as decorative objects, either stacked or individually. And at this price point, the only thing we suggest is storing cherished mementos instead of flour!
