Beautiful antique English carved wooden bread board, measuring approximately 11.5” L × 8.5” W × 1” thick.
The raised border is deeply carved with the traditional Lord’s Prayer inscription:
“Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread”
The Gothic/blackletter Victoriann Era (c. 1900) inscription is complemented by hand-finished floral and foliate decoration. The recessed center and turned underside give the piece considerable depth and character.
The board has a lovely warm honey-brown patina with scratches, small nicks, edge wear and other signs of age and use, but in overall great condition. Please review photographs carefully for condition.
These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source. This is an authentic antique bread board showing signs of use and wear.
I sourced this piece during a recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 12 years from sources who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England.
I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.
Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and traveling the countryside antiquing.
On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.
Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
