This Edwardian spice tower is a kitchen treen object made from timber and boxwood with a warm brown colour and a natural polished finish. The piece takes the form of a turned cylindrical tower divided into four stacked compartments with threaded screw joints, topped by a stepped circular lid and finished with a moulded circular base. Each tier is decorated with stencilled banner labels reading Mace, Ginger, Cinnamon, and Nutmegs respectively, and the structure shows historical damage that has been sympathetically restored. The item measures 19.5 cm high, 8 cm wide, and 8 cm deep. Practical for use today, this spice tower sits neatly on a kitchen island or pantry shelf as a decorative storage container. The historic stencilled labels and visible timber grain add rustic farmhouse charm to a traditional or contemporary kitchen interior.

FAQs

An antique wooden spice tower is a multi-tiered, turned treen container used in 18th and 19th-century kitchens to store dried spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and mace in separate stacked compartments.

Spice towers were traditionally lathe-turned from dense hardwoods such as boxwood, sycamore, or beech, often featuring precision-threaded screw joints and transfer-printed or hand-stencilled labels.

Authentic examples feature hand-turned lathe lines, smooth thread-cut joints that unscrew easily, natural timber patina from age, and original ink or transfer lettering denoting individual spices.

A turned spice tower functions well as a decorative focal point on an open kitchen shelf, a marble countertop tray, or a vintage dresser alongside copper cookware and ceramic pottery.

Keep treen away from direct heat sources and excess dampness, dusting regularly with a dry cloth and occasionally applying clear beeswax polish to protect the timber and retain its natural sheen.
