Product Description

A staple of the Victorian tea table, this English biscuit barrel from the 1880s was designed to store biscuits while helping to keep them fresh between tea services. Rich oak is accented with polished silver plate, including a fitted lid, swinging handle, decorative bands, and a shield-shaped crest intended for a family monogram. Biscuit barrels became a standard feature in English households during the late 19th century, reflecting the importance of afternoon tea and gracious entertaining.
