Amish Pie Safe

Amish Pie Safe - Handcrafted In The USA

The pie safe was an important piece of furniture in American history.  Our solid wood pie safes are not antiques but they have the look and feel of the one you remember in your Great Grandmother’s kitchen.  All of our pie safes are handcrafted by Dutch Amish craftsmen using Old World techniques.  A pie safe will help to complete a country touch to your home décor as well as provide you with useful storage. 

Pie Safes have been used for hundreds of years to store a lot more than just pies!  Pies, cakes, breads and all other types of baked goods were stored in pie safes.  Storing the baked goods away in the pie safe kept them safely away from pests and helped them to last longer.  The punched tin door panels that are popular on many styles were used to circulate air in the cabinet and also keep out bugs, dirt and hungry kids.  The ventilation also helped to keep the baked goods cooler.   Sometimes pie safes were a combination of a pie and canned goods storage.

The pie cabinet or pie safe was most likely introduced to the United States by the German people that immigrated to Pennsylvania and became known as the Pennsylvania Dutch.   The Pennslyvania Dutch offered a new furniture solution to the problem of storing your baked goods.  This new functional and fashionable furniture cabinet was very in style in the 1800 before the iceboxes were introduced.   We don’t often store our baked goods in the pie safes anymore but they are still fashionable for storing a variety of other things. 

Ours replica pie safes are great for the kitchen, pantry or mud room.  Pie Safes are also a great choice for linen storage in the bathroom or guest room.  You can hide away the clutter of kid’s toys in a pie safe keeping that play room neat and tidy!  These Amish handcrafted pie safes are a classic piece of furniture that will serve various storage purposes. 

We offer pie safes in a variety of solid wood options from pine wood, oak wood, brown maple wood to cherry wood wood.  Looking for custom dimensions or wood that we don’t offer as a standard option just give us a call and we’ll look into having your pie safe made just for you.   Choose from a variety of finishes from stains to paints.  If you are looking for a stain or paint that is different than what you see offered give us a call and we’ll be happy to help replica the look you want.  It was often commonplace in the early days for the lady of the house to custom design her pie safe to fit her kitchen and needs.  This customization adds to the one of a kind uniqueness of the pie safe. 

You may remember your Great Grandmother calling her pie safe a pie cabinet or a pie  cupboard.  They also are know as a kitchen safe, screened safe, tin safes, farmhouse pie safe or jelly cupboard.   These 19th century replica cabinet will be a treasured heirloom for your family to enjoy for many, many years!
