Early 20th Century French Grain Display Counter 59"

This rare French grain display counter or "grainetier" from an early 20th-century épicerie is a stunning example of functional craftsmanship. The lower section features drawers with glass windows to showcase the grains and pulses within, each drawer adorned with ornate brass handles shaped like seashells. The upper section boasts several roll-top compartments, designed for easy access to stored goods, which were scooped, weighed, and served to customers. A beautifully carved band of foliage decorates the front, adding an elegant touch to this practical piece. This counter is a true reflection of the charm and detail of early 20th-century French retail furniture.
