My grandmother had one of them in her pantry.
It was called a 'meat-safe'.
It was used for meat, butter, cream etc.
That was when there were no fridges [==no electricity!] but proper pantries were small 'walk-in' rooms, made with solid insulated walls, marble shelves for coolness and a mesh-covered small open window on the north wall to ventilate/cool them and stop the sun.
It hangs up on the wall to be less accessible to pesky critters.
Its elevated position and mesh-screens on three sides allow a flow of cooling air over the contents without admitting blow-files.
Ours also had a middle wire-grid shelf for 'double-decker' storage
It'd also have a milk-cooler in it, overlaid with a damp cloth that would kept the milk cold by evaporation.

Like open heart surgery ?
Your wonderful drawings make it look so, so easy, Dave.
