Antique reproduction frontier style bread boxes offered to you by Cold Creek Furniture Company.

Original bread boxes of this type were used by pioneer settlers beginning around 1810, east of the Mississippi; staying with folks as they made their way west. These bread boxes were especially  popular in the Dakota’s and Kansas where they were referred to as “biscuit boxes”.

Original punch patterns ranged from random punching and simple designs to the more ornate patterns such as our diamond or rosette patterns.  In practical use, the original bread boxes left the sharp punched holes to the outside for insect control.  Our bread boxes have the smooth punched holes to the outside for appearance and cleaning convenience.

Please note we have taken a few steps away from the original authenticity in order to provide you with a wide selection of bread boxes from which to choose.  For example, we offer some copper panels, yet copper sheet goods were not available at the time.  We offer it because the antique copper provides a certain charm to today’s modern home.

We bench-build and finish these bread boxes in our Wisconsin shop using native solid hardwood, (except for the stained pine selections).  They are smoothly finished with strong, neat joinery, yet are fitted and shaped to reflect the work and tooling of a country craftsman of the late 18th century.They are individually unique.

 • All joints are glued and nailed with no exposed nail holes

 • The door frame is lap jointed for strength.

 • The hinges are solid antiqued brass

• Outside dimensions: The 1 1/2 loaf bread boxes are 16 3/4" wide x 9 3/4" high x 8 3/4" deep. The 2 1/2 loaf bread boxes are 16 3/4" wide x 9 3/4" high x 12 3/4" deep, with a 5" ledge on top.

 • The copper, pewter, and weathered tin panels are finished with a flat, clear acrylic. The rustic panels have a true rusted finish

 • The  wood has a final coat of clear, flat lacquer. This produces a finish that is very durable and easy to clean, yet retains the finish of an aged antique.

Our wooden and tin punched bread boxes are finished to complement many styles of home decor, including primitive, country, colonial, western, vintage, cottage, rustic and lodge.

Place one of these beautiful bread boxes in your home and let it take you back to a time when life was simpler.  Your bread box will become an interesting conversational piece and will be practical for storage.
