拍品专文

The panetière or bread storage box was a typical sight in the kitchens of wealthy 18th century French homes. With its open front and sides, and small door, the panetière served as the perfect place to dry and store fresh bread.
Further examples of this type of kitchen furniture can be found in H. Algoud, Meubles et Ensembles Provençaux, Paris, 1949, pp.11 and 27 and C. Moreau, Les Beaux Meubles Régionaux des Provinces de France, Paris, 1952, pp.230, 235 and 244.
