Know before you buy
While this is an authentic 19th-century artifact, it is best suited for serving or display rather than heavy-duty food preparation. Because it is an antique, the wood may have porous areas or historical wear that are difficult to sanitize to modern food-safety standards.
Do not submerge this board in water or place it in the dishwasher, as the antique wood can warp or crack. Clean it by gently wiping the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap, then immediately dry it thoroughly. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil will help preserve the wood's condition.
No, this board features a flat, solid surface without a juice groove or non-slip feet. Its design reflects its 19th-century origins, prioritizing a simple, robust aesthetic over modern kitchen conveniences.
As a genuine antique, the board displays a rich, authentic patina and subtle wear consistent with decades of use. These marks are part of its history and character, meaning the surface will not be perfectly smooth like a new, mass-produced board.
No, this board is not reversible. It is designed with a specific top surface, and the underside may not be finished or flat enough for stable use as a cutting surface.
