A cheerful relic from the heart of the French kitchen, this vintage enamel “SEL” box (French for salt) brings both charm and authenticity to your culinary space. Its striking red-and-white marbled enamel pattern — known as émaillé marbré — was a favorite among French households in the 1930s–1950s for its durability and brightness.

This piece still boasts its original wooden lid, gently timeworn to a soft patina, and a keyhole backplate for easy wall hanging above the stove — exactly as it would have been displayed in a traditional French farmhouse. Once filled with coarse sea salt from the coast of Brittany or Camargue, it now serves beautifully as a decorative accent, utensil holder, or a touch of nostalgia in your kitchen.
