The wood has a golden tone and the carved paddle handle gives the whole piece a delightful country-kitchen feeling. Although this is still a working board, the proportions are just perfect for it to display beautifully on a wall as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis planche à découper ancienne (old cutting board) likely dates from the late 19th to early 20th century. It was cut from a single plank of close-grained hardwood, with a rectangular body and a carved handle at one end. The hole through the handle allows it to hang easily on a kitchen wall or peg rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat I like about this board is that it is just straightforward. It is one solid piece of wood, shaped for a purpose, used for decades, and softened by time in all the right places. It sits flat and still has generations of use left in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, it could hang with other antique French cutting boards, sit on the counter with bread before lunch, or be used as a charcuterie board. The golden wood works beautifully when placed near some green glazed pottery, linen torchons and maybe an old cleaver. Delightful. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53732915839319,"sku":"CUT-027","price":365.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-cutting-board-paddle-handle-2.jpg?v=1780908070","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-cutting-board-carved-paddle-handle-early-20th-century","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
