Function & History
Originally designed to store potatoes and onions before the age of refrigeration, this type of ventilated bin helped keep produce cool and dry. The upper compartment typically held potatoes (requiring darkness to prevent sprouting), while the lower drawer was for onions, which benefit from slightly more air circulation.
Today, it makes a wonderful farmhouse accent, kitchen conversation piece, or decorative storage for linens, pantry items, or pet supplies.
