This is a super lovely unique piece, I especially love the acorn knobs for the cane handle with the lid being topped off with an acorn finial. These details date this biscuit barrel to 1920's / 1930's.
Biscuit barrels are a reminder of traditional hospitality when afternoon tea was a cherished ritual. Designed to keep the biscuits fresh and within easy reach of guests, biscuit barrels were proudly displayed on sideboards and tea tables.
This Carlton Ware barrel can be repurposed as a vase, utensil holder or simply styled as a statement piece.
Other than time worn wear on the the acorns this barrel is in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks.
