SLOW DÉCOR FOR AN INTENTIONAL LIFESTYLE.
A beautifully aged large wooden faisselle, this piece hails from Eastern France, where it was traditionally used for draining and shaping fresh cheese. Crafted from weathered wood, bound with bentwood hoops, and showing the perfect patina of time, it embodies rustic French farmhouse craftsmanship at its finest.
Measuring 20 cm in diameter and 13 cm in height, this rarely found larger size would have been ideal for making generous rounds of fresh cow’s milk cheese. Its textured, ribbed interior ensured proper drainage, allowing the whey to escape and leaving behind the creamy curds.
Today, it serves as a beautiful decorative piece, perfect for those who appreciate the charm of antique French kitchenware and timeworn wooden objects.
A Piece with a Story
Faisselles like this have been used for centuries in French farmsteads and dairies, where cheese making was an essential part of daily life. The bentwood bands ensured durability, while the natural grain of the wood absorbed and enhanced the flavors of the cheese over time.
Now, this piece is ready for a new life—whether as a decorative vessel, a tabletop centerpiece, or a striking rustic accent in a farmhouse kitchen.
Details & Condition:
- Material: Aged wood with bentwood hoop supports
- Dimensions: 20 cm (D) x 13 cm (H) (7.9" x 5.1")
- Condition: Naturally aged patina with visible wear, cracks, and imperfections that add to its character. Structurally sound for decorative use.
Perfect for French farmhouse kitchens, collectors of antique kitchenware, or lovers of rustic European decor. Style it as a statement piece on a countertop, use it as a bread or fruit bowl, or simply display it as a sculptural relic of French cheese making tradition.
