Primitive Stacking Boxes
Primitive Stacking Boxes or nesting boxes were used throughout the 18th century. They are also called Shaker boxes. Their main purpose was practical. They were used to store important belongings, kitchens trinkets, flour/sugar/coffee or even to measure certain kitchen ingredients. The Primitive Stacking Box was traditionally oval shaped but can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes today.
As with any primitive décor, the popular stacking boxes have evolved from its predecessor so many years ago. However, they still retain their original purpose which is nesting into each other to save space.
