ANTIQUE PANTRY BOXES

Pantry boxes have been used since the Colonial days in the USA. Pantry boxes were designed to store many different household items and make both collectible and practical items.

Pantry boxes are usually round in shape but the most desirable are the oval shaped boxes. Pantry boxes may be primitive in design or painted. Some pantry boxes have handles while others are plain.

Pantry boxes often come in sets with graduating sizes. These are easy to store on top of each other as well as being aesthetically pleasing. Below are some examples of different pantry boxes.
