Antique

One-Of-A-Kind

Exactly As Pictured

Found in a small village outside Lyon, this antique French cutting board was hand-carved from a single piece of wood, a generous rectangle with a short handle at one end. Boards shaped like this lived in the kitchens of the Lyonnais countryside, used for everything that needed a flat surface, from bread to onions to whatever came in from the garden. The face is scored in every direction from a lifetime of knife work, the wood worn pale and soft from years of use. Sylvie leans it against the wall behind a bowl of tomatoes, or lays it flat with a round of cheese and a small knife on top.
