This is a very quirky and innovative idea for food service. It looks just like a drawer from an old fashioned cabinet with the traditional brass handle except this has one on each end to make carrying easy. You could use it to display salt and pepper mills, straws or cutlery, or even as a container for sharing dishes, nibbles and the like. Please remember to line it with greaseproof paper if for the latter. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth and dry it off at once and never soak it or it may warp.
