Title

Once a staple in every Provençal kitchen, this 19th century French breadboard from the South of France is a soulful reminder of the simple pleasures of daily life — breaking bread, sharing stories, and gathering around the table. Hand carved from a single slab of hardwood, its thick, weighty form and notched silhouette reflect both function and rustic charm.

 

With deep knife marks, softened edges, and the warmth of a well-worn surface, this board tells its own delicious tale — a rich patina developed through generations of use, from kneading dough to slicing crusty loaves fresh from the oven. In rural French homes, breadboards like this were essential tools, passed down through families and often shaped by regional traditions. Their sturdy forms and distinctive cuts made them ideal not only for bread, but also for chopping herbs, mincing garlic, and serving charcuterie.

 

Whether styled as a decorative accent in a country kitchen or pressed back into service as a rustic serving piece, this antique board brings an authentic slice of French culinary heritage to the modern table. Additional boards available. *Shown with additional antique breadboards, each sold separately. This listing is for the featured board only.
