Oval Pantry Box with Hand-Carved Fish Handle

This charming primitive folk art piece features a Shaker-style oval bentwood or heavy paper mâché pantry box with a distressed, sponge-painted mustard yellow and black finish. The lid is uniquely adorned with a hand-carved, dark-toned wooden fish that serves as a decorative handle, complete with a small metal loop detail at its belly resembling a fishing lure. The interior shows a smooth, warm natural wood or kraft finish. Ideal for rustic cabin decor, fishing enthusiasts, or early American country collections.
