This mid 1800’s Swedish Folk Art wooden box was hanging in our Vermont farmhouse kitchen . It is beautifully handmade and reflects the primitive style of the times . I believe the wood to be Swedish pine . It measures 9.5 in high by 5 in wide and 4.5 in deep . It can hang on the wall or stand alone . It originally held salt or flour , but because it displays so well it can hold almost anything in any room . I used it for holding my old recipe cards in the kitchen. This box is in very good vintage condition and will add a touch of mid 19th century primitive charm to any home .
