Vintage French bread boards, often called "planche à pain," are rustic, hand-crafted wooden boards traditionally used for slicing and serving bread. These boards come in various shapes and sizes, typically rectangular or oval, and are valued for their patina and character, which develop over years of use. Ours date from the mid to late 20th century.

Here are some key features and considerations about these charming kitchen items:
Material: Usually made from hardwoods like oak, beech, or walnut, which are durable and resistant to knife marks.
Patina: Over time, these boards develop a rich patina, giving them a unique, antique look.
Craftsmanship: Often hand-made, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail typical of vintage French kitchenware.
Design: They often have a simple, rustic design, sometimes with carved handles or decorative edges.
Uses and Care: Uses: Besides slicing and serving bread, they can be used as cheese boards, charcuterie boards, or decorative pieces in a kitchen or dining room.
Care: To maintain their condition, they should be hand-washed with mild soap and water, and regularly oiled with food-safe mineral oil to prevent drying and cracking.
