About the Item

Set of Three Antique Dutch/Flemish Herring Barrels with Original Inscriptions, Late 19th Century A rare set of three antique wooden herring barrels (haringtonnen), originating from the Netherlands or Flanders, late 19th century. These charming folk art barrels were traditionally used in fish shops and village groceries to store and sell salted herring. Each barrel is made of wooden staves bound with wooden hoops and comes with its original removable lid. Remnants of hand-painted inscriptions and price markings remain visible, including “18 centen den ½ kilo” (18 cents per half kilo), referring to the historical retail price of herring. The barrels show a rich patina and authentic wear consistent with use and age. Such early shop fittings and objects of everyday folk culture are increasingly rare and today make wonderful decorative accents. Perfect for collectors of maritime antiques, rustic interiors, and antique kitchenalia. Barrel 1: Ø 31 cm (12.2 in) x H 23 cm (9 in) Barrel 2: Ø 30 cm (11.8 in) x H 23 cm (9 in) Barrel 3: Ø 23 cm (9 in) x H 16 cm (6.3 in) Period: Late 19th Century Place of Origin: Netherlands / Flanders Condition: Good antique condition with wear, scratches, and paint losses consistent with age and use. Lids fit loosely, as typical for old coopered barrels. Unmatched on 1stdibs – no other Dutch or Flemish herring barrels are currently available, making this complete set exceptionally rare. Antique herring barrels, antique haringtonnen, Dutch folk art, Flemish folk art, 19th century barrels, rustic storage containers, antique wooden barrels, fishmongers trade, maritime antiques, antique kitchenalia, folk art decorative objects, country store antiques, rustic wooden tubs, patinated wood
