DescriptionThis small wooden repisa shelf for storing herbs and spices or cooking utensils is painted light blue with black stenciling. Much of the text in black stenciling is illegible due to aging, though the words: "COMPANY / DENVER, COLO" remain visible. Stars are visible on each side panel, while the unpainted back panel is pointed upwards in a triangular fashion. The bottom edges of the repisa are rounded, creating an embellished foundational border.
