Rustic French Provincial fruitwood dough bin on stand, late 19th c., having lift top, revealing open interior, single drawer in stand, rising on tapered legs, approx 31"h, 57.5"w, 26.5"d

07.09.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 3326: As described this is a rustic piece of furniture and the condition reflects such, the wear being commensurate with the dough bins’ age and functional use in the provincial French countryside, I note that the bin is presently intact, sitting upon stand comfortably, there is separation between the top and front-facing panels, the front panel split with remnants of fill reinforcement, there are minor fills to the top of the lid and near corner edges, and the single drawer currently operates smoothly, there is evidence of old woodworm commensurate with age and origin, there is a section of loss, possibly from water damage upon a closer examination, near the upper back left corner of the bin
