A beautifully honest piece of early 20th-century Australian country furniture — a simple meat safe in its original cream paint with mesh ventilation panels on all sides and a single shelf inside. Designed for practicality in the pre-refrigeration era, these safes were placed on verandahs or in breezy kitchens to keep food cool and flies out.
This one features lovely age and patina, a green-enameled handle, and its original flywire mesh intact. Perfect today as a rustic kitchen accent, linen cupboard, or display cabinet for your favourite crockery.
Condition:
Good vintage order with age-appropriate wear to paint and light surface marks consistent with age and use. Solid, stable, and full of character.
