'Want Not'

SOLD

Code: F18839

Dimensions:

D: 1.8cm (0.7")Di: 29.2cm (11.5")



A very attractive, Victorian carved breadboard with a dark patina. This piece is carved in beechwood but the wood has a very rich, dark patina. The border is well carved, with 'Want not' in an ornate script, a small flower and ears of wheat. The carving is nicely detailed and it is all against a stipple background. There are two small burn marks to the front of the board and there are also a number of very short cracks to the rim where the wood has dried out over the years. It dates from c.1860. There were a number of woodworm holes, but these have now been treated and filled, and there are the usual scratches to the face of the board, from use.
Price includes postage within the U.K. Shipping to the U.S.A. add £20. Western Europe add £10.
