A genuine Australian meat safe dating from around the 1930s, retaining its original blue-green painted finish, wire-mesh doors and timber-lined interior.
Before refrigeration became commonplace, meat safes like this were used to store food while allowing air circulation and keeping insects away. Today they make striking decorative pieces for farmhouse, cottage, country or rustic interiors.
This example remains in largely untouched condition, with decades of honest wear, original patina and the character that only comes with age and use.
