#iconacyprus at Gave



After the settlement in Cyprus, one of the widely used objects was the wire cabinet, which was used as a kitchen. The wire cabinet made of wood material was produced by many people who felt the need to use it without mastery. It is known that it got this name because of the wires placed on the wooden outside and cover faces to allow air to breathe. 

The "plate holder", which was called "gablık" by the people of the island, was placed in the wire cabinets, which were described as the natural refrigerators of the old period, and the products that needed to be protected and stored were placed on the shelves and stored here. Products that do not spoil despite being exposed for three days would have a long shelf life, because they could also contact a direct heir, and wire was attached to their lids so that flies or insects could not enter. It was placed in the cleanest and coolest place in the kitchen. 

As can be seen at Gave's entrance, Cypriot bacon and nors were placed, dried and kept fresh in the wire cabinets, which have been replaced by refrigerators today. Today, it continues to take its place in the kitchens of some houses in a modernized way with an authentic theme.
