{"product_id":"antique-french-cutting-board-single-plank-shaped-handle-late-19th-century","title":"Antique French Cutting Board | Single Plank | Late 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis antique French cutting board has a completely different feeling from the heavier farmhouse boards. The shape is more slim and clean with a warm golden surface that has been marked by decades of use. It still has that \"working board\" character, but the proportions make it especially beautiful for display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis planche à découper ancienne (old cutting board) likely dates from the late 19th to early 20th century, consistent with French country kitchen cutting boards of the period. It was made from a single plank of hardwood, with a rectangular cut and a short handle. The handle looks hand cut, with a simple, primitive shape that gives the whole piece a lot of charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's one solid plank with a hole through the handle that someone recently added jute twine for hanging. It is approximately 3.5 centimeters thick, giving it a solid feel without the heavier weight of a butcher-style board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface shows signs of generational use. There are knife marks, darkened areas across the grain, worn edges and the kind of aged patina that feels so good to be around. This aged French kitchen board was clearly made for daily use, and the warmth of the wood now carries all of that history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, it would be beautiful leaned against a backsplash, hung on the wall with other antique French cutting boards, or put back in service for chopping things on a daily basis. This board is ready for immediate use when it arrives in your kitchen!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53503684903255,"sku":"CUT-008","price":375.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-cutting-board-single-plank-shaped-handle-late-19th-century-2.jpg?v=1778426088","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-cutting-board-single-plank-shaped-handle-late-19th-century","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
