Title

Worn smooth by generations of use, this 19th century French breadboard or cutting board from Provence tells a richly textured story of rustic charm and culinary tradition. Hand carved from dense hardwood with beautifully figured grain, the board’s well-worn surface reveals the faint traces of every slice, chop, and knead once performed upon it.

 

Its distinctive beveled edge and notched handle offer both form and function, while the branded initials “C•AB”, on the front and side, speak to its personal provenance — likely the initials of the household cook or the farm to which it once belonged. Such markings were often burned into utilitarian tools as a symbol of pride and stewardship, ensuring their safe return if lent out in village life.

 

Displaying a deeply burnished patina, earthy and warm with age, this antique Provençal breadboard is far more than a kitchen tool. It is a soulful piece of rural French heritage, perfect for authentic farmhouse décor, charcuterie displays, or rustic entertaining with storied style. *Shown with additional antique breadboards, each sold separately. This listing is for the featured board only.

Dimensions:

h - 1.25"

w - 21"

d -14.75"
