About this piece

back to top

A rare, one-of-a-kind antique game drying cabin, constructed in pine with a zinc roof. Once used as a Victorian food safe for drying and smoking meats, this freestanding, weatherproof wooden cabin offers a glimpse into the lives and hobbies of historical British society. You can just imagine a hunt party arriving back at the manor house with their prize and hanging their game upon the small hooks within.

Dating from the early 20th century, this unusual antique game drying cabin could today be used as a garden item or film prop, a large estate amongst the great hills of Scotland providing the perfect backdrop. Alternatively, it could be repurposed as a vintage drinks cabinet, looking stylish in a period bar or chic modern home!
