The rounded handle, broad working face and warm honey patina give it a beautiful country-kitchen presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown in French as a planche à découper ancienne, this antique cutting board likely dates from the mid to late 19th century. It was hand shaped from a single plank of hardwood, likely beech or sycamore, with a short rounded handle pierced for hanging. Both sides were used, and each face has aged differently from years of chopping, slicing and daily kitchen work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood shows crosshatched knife marks, softened edges, a stable small edge split and the mellow color that only comes from long use. Laid on a counter for bread, cheese, charcuterie or hung with other antique French cutting boards, it adds warmth, texture and the feeling of a real French kitchen that was built slowly, piece by piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54954443506007,"sku":"CUT-049","price":565.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/hand-shaped-french-cutting-board-1800s-2.jpg?v=1788967994","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-chopping-board-hand-cut-hardwood-19th-century","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
