Sugar box, complete with cutting tool, Swedish - Cutter - Wood

Late 19th to early 20th century Swedish sugar cutter housed in a dovetailed hardwood box with original brass fittings and working key. The hinged lid opens to reveal a mounted iron blade stamped Eskilstuna—a renowned Swedish center of steel production—secured with a turned wooden handle and resting over a slotted cutting block. The perforated base was designed to collect sugar fragments, typical of utility boxes used when sugar was sold in solid loaves. A well-preserved example of Scandinavian domestic craftsmanship, combining practical design with understated elegance. Dimensions: 35 cm (L) x 25 cm (W) x 20 cm (H).
