Title

Once a utilitarian staple in a French country kitchen, this handsome 19th century breadboard was made for daily use—slicing boules, chopping herbs, and preparing rustic meals. Carved from a single, solid piece of hardwood, it features a classic rectangular form softened by age, with a generous round handle and a pierced hole for hanging above the hearth or on a hook near the oven.

 

Years of faithful service have imparted a soft, weathered patina in warm honeyed tones, textured with knife marks, cut lines, and subtle scratches — each one a testament to its storied past. The center of the board is gently worn, bearing the faint hollow that forms naturally over time from decades of repeated use, likely from chopping and kneading.

 

Its raw authenticity and sculptural shape make it a beautiful piece for styling — leaned against a backsplash, hung on the wall, or layered with other vintage finds for a curated kitchen tableau. And it’s still as useful as it is decorative. *Shown with additional antique breadboards, each sold separately. This listing is for the featured board only.

Dimensions:

h - 1"
