Vintage wood wall mounted recipe box

Vintage wooden wall-mounted kitchen box featuring decorative hand-carved accents and a small round knob. Historically, this specific style of narrow, tall wooden box with a slide-up front panel is known as a Provençal "farinière" (traditional French flour storage box). When the front panel is slid open and fully lowered, it exposes a slanted tier of four tiered storage slots. • How It Functions: The front panel with the knob slides vertically upward along grooves on the side to reveal interior storage. • Features: It has a pointed, decorative silhouette at the bottom and primitive incised carvings decorating the slide-up face • Internal Organization: The stepped design is custom-built to hold recipe cards (typically standard 3x5 or 4x6 sizes) or indexed stationery. • The "V" Cutout: The deep triangle notch on the back wall of the sliding insert serves a critical mechanical purpose: it gives your finger a designated space to comfortably pull or grip the sliding tier back up into its wall housing without catching on the contents. • Display Mechanism: By tilting outward or dropping low when fully opened, it functions like an active index, letting you easily flip through different categories (such as meats, desserts, or salads) while the box remains mounted safely on the kitchen wall
