JULIEN | Antique French Bread Board

A century-old piece of French kitchen heritage.

Once used daily in the heart of a rural kitchen, this primitive wooden breadboard bears the marks of a life well lived. Each board is shaped by hand and softened by time, with a rich patina that tells its own story. Perfect for light use, layering on open shelving, styling a rustic table, or leaning against a backsplash.

Craftsmanship & Origin

Sourced from provincial France, this early 20th-century breadboard was traditionally used for slicing and serving loaves baked in wood-fired ovens. Each piece is carved from solid timber with hand-finished edges, knife marks, and natural wear that reveal its age and authenticity. Their warmth and history bring quiet depth to any space - simple, grounded, and unmistakably French.
