Pair American Bentwood Pantry Boxes - 7.5x9.5 A pair of antique circular bentwood pantry boxes featuring traditional lap-joint construction. These containers are crafted from thin, pliable wood strips bent into shape and secured at the overlap seams with small metal tacks. The larger box is finished in a dark brown stain, while the smaller box exhibits a warm, reddish-brown natural finish. Each container is equipped with a matching fitted lid with a bentwood rim. The interiors are unfinished, revealing the natural wood grain and construction details. The form and assembly method are characteristic of nineteenth-century American utilitarian storage containers, produced in the style of New England makers such as Orlando Mason or Thomas Annett. No manufacturer marks or stamps are visible on the wood surfaces.
