{"product_id":"antique-french-wooden-cutting-board-with-chamfered-corners","title":"Antique French Bread Board | Hand Carved Beech | Provincial Farmhouse","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis antique French bread board, or planche à pain ancienne, was never tucked away for special occasions. It sat where it could be reached, used, cleaned, and used again. Cut from a single thick plank of beech, it has the kind of confidence that only comes from doing one job well for a very long time. The form and age of the wood place this likely in the late 19th to early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is beautiful and simple. Shaped from one piece of wood, the working face has knife scoring running in every direction. The beech has aged into a warm honey  tone, and where the patina thins you can still see the characteristic flecks in the grain. Near the lower edge, a small knot carries a small crack, the sort of thing that happens when wood spends a century adapting to changing seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis board has all of its history on display. It was most likely used daily as a cutting board, bread board and utility board. Lean this one against a backsplash, hang it from a peg, or use it exactly as intended beneath a loaf of bread, a wedge of Comté, and a good knife. Welcome, Provence. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52986645414231,"sku":"CUT-009","price":395.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/vintage-french-country-solid-wood-kitchen-prep-board-2.jpg?v=1773233046","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-wooden-cutting-board-with-chamfered-corners","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
