Vintage "Bread" Carved English Bread Board with Fruit and Vine Clusters, c1980

An attractive, large vintage bread board that is perfectly suited for daily use in your modern kitchen. Hand picked in England, the board features deeply carved clusters of fruit and vines around the edge, with simple lettering reading 'Bread' on the bottom. Moderate knife marks throughout. The board is made of several pieces of wood joined together. The color, carving design, and flat back indicates a more recent production date, likely c1980, when companies like Bramhall Woodware were transitioning to this type of board construction. No maker's stamp. A lovely contemporary example of wood artistry. Bread boards were a kitchen staple in cottages and homes throughout England. Used to slice and serve homemade bread, they also served as gifts for important occasions and bearers of social values. Each one is hand picked from England and is a functional yet lovely antique, perfect for adding English farmhouse warmth to your home.
