Found in England, this vintage English oak biscuit barrel retains its silver plate handle and banding, engravable trophy shield and its original porcelain liner, however the top is missing. Inspired by the barrels that were used to transport biscuits (cookies) the first biscuit barrels appeared, circa 1840. They soon became a staple in almost every English home and were used to serve and store biscuits. Without its lid, this piece would make a wonderful vessel for plants or floral arrangements or could be used as a desk accessory.
