Cold Creek Furniture Company is offering their distinctive reproduction frontier style breadboxes for your consideration.These breadboxes were used by pioneer settlers beginning around 1810, east of the Mississippi, and staying with folks as they made their way west. Many of these boxes were known to be used in the Dakotas and Kansas up until 1910, w they were referred to as 'biscuit boxes'.We bench-build and finish these bread boxes in our Wisconsin shop using native solid wood. They are smoothly finished with strong, neat joinery, yet are fitted and shaped to reflect the work and tooling of a country craftsman of the late 18th century. All joints are glued and nailed, with no exposed nail holes. The door frame is lap jointed for strength. The hinges are solid antiqued brass. Outside dimensions are 16 3/4" wide x 9 3/4" high x 12 3/4" deep, with a 5" shelf on top. 2 1/2 loaves of bread will fit in this bread box. The finish is our Black Onyx over Colonial Red paint, edge distressed under a top coat of clear, flat lacquer. This produces a finish that is very durable and easy to clean, yet retains the look of an aged antique. The panel is brushed antiqued solid copper, with a diamond punched design, coated with a clear, flat lacquer for ease of cleaning. The diamond pattern has it's origins in southwestern frontier life.
