Rustic Antique English Breadboard - St George Cross

A wonderful carved treen wooden breadboard, dating from the early 20th Century, oozing character with faded carved decoration, and a rich and timeworn patina. 

This breadboard is full of character and rustic charm. Although the carved border has faded over time through use, the colour and patination is beautiful. It has been regularly waxed, resulting in a beautiful rich honey colouring.   

The original carving can still be seen, with a St George's cross (the patron saint of England) at the base, and carved wheat and barley meeting at the top. 

Although there is a slight warp on one side, it is still a usable piece of antique kitchenalia. But it would equally display well.
