A superb, weighty antique French cutting board found at a Sunday brocante, note the lovely rounded handle.

There are traces of woodworm. It has been treated so recommended for decorative use rather than for preparing food. Further treatment may be required for the woodworm - contact your local hardware store for a suitable product.
