Know before you buy
The platter is food safe and designed for direct contact with items like cheeses, fruits, or appetizers. Because it is crafted from authentic vintage wine barrels, the wood retains its natural character and finish without the use of harmful chemicals.
To preserve the integrity of the vintage wood, wipe the platter clean with a damp cloth after use. Avoid submerging it in water or using a dishwasher, as excess moisture can cause the wood to warp or the finish to degrade.
While the platter is suitable for outdoor entertaining, it is best to store it indoors when not in use. Prolonged exposure to harsh weather, direct sunlight, or extreme humidity may accelerate the aging of the wood and the iron handles.
Yes, the handles are hand-forged in the US and securely attached to the barrel top. They are designed to support the weight of the platter and a full spread of food, though we recommend supporting the base when carrying heavier items.
Because each piece is fashioned from authentic vintage French wine barrel tops, there will be natural variations in the wood grain, color, and distressed markings. These unique characteristics are part of the item's history and ensure that no two platters are identical.
