This is a handwoven rattan bread box with two compartments: a lidded top bin on a solid wood base and a pull-out drawer below. It is made by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border and signed by the weaver. The top holds two large loaves plus bagels, and the drawer takes rolls, crackers or snacks. Against metal and plastic bread boxes it trades airtight sealing for breathable rattan and craft, so it suits bakers who want a countertop piece rather than a sealed keeper.

Rated 5 out of 5 across 21 ratings. Buyers praise the handwoven build, the size and the two-compartment layout.
This bread box is woven from rattan reed in two compartments. The top compartment sits on a solid wood bottom under a solid wood hinged lid with a leather pull. A pull-out woven drawer sits below it. A leather handle is riveted through the weave on each side of the box.
The lid lifts by its leather pull and stays open. The drawer slides out on woven runners. The top holds two large loaves, and the drawer holds bagels, rolls, crackers or snacks. A loaf rests flat on the wood bottom. Keeping it in its own bag or a linen or cotton bread bag inside the box keeps it soft.
An Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border weaves it by hand in the USA, and the weaver signs it. The trim color is woven in as dyed reed, not painted on. On the plain finish, the stain takes to each piece of wood in its own way.
