A rare and beautifully weathered late 19th-century Victorian ice box, crafted in solid wood with original zinc lining.

This charming and functional piece would have served as an early form of refrigeration, storing perishables long before electric fridges became standard.

The solid wood exterior features rich, aged patina with vertical paneling and robust iron hinges, while the inside reveals a zinc-lined compartment with central drainage and perforated side chambers for air circulation.

The top opens via a two-part lift-up lid, with a hinged front access door—both complete with original fittings and a rustic latch.

Perfect as a decorative piece for farmhouse kitchens, rustic interiors, or those curating a Victorian utility or pantry aesthetic, this early domestic appliance is both a historical artefact and a beautiful standalone cabinet.

Usage:
Perfect as a characterful side cabinet, drinks store, rustic kitchen feature, or statement utility piece. Also ideal for displaying in general stores, cafés, or as part of a historical home interior.

Care instructions:
Clean gently with a soft cloth. Avoid excess moisture on wood. Not suitable for actual food storage unless professionally restored and sealed.
