The heavy wooden base, dark steel blade and turned handle all say one thing clearly: this was made to work. You can almost hear the crust of a country loaf giving way under the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown in French as a coupe-pain, this guillotine-style cutter likely dates from the late 19th century. Tools like this were used in French kitchens for slicing bread, and sometimes cured pork or lard, with one steady drop of the pivoting blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardwood base has a deep patina, hand-shaped edges and the wear of long kitchen life. The forged steel blade is mounted on an iron hinge and still swings cleanly. Displayed on a counter, shelf or farmhouse table, it brings real French kitchen history into the room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54241565278551,"sku":"CUT-002","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-guillotine-bread-cutter-2.jpg?v=1788802396","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/en-us\/products\/antique-french-bread-cutter-guillotine-blade-late-19th-century","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
