SLOW DÉCOR FOR AN INTENTIONAL LIFESTYLE.

Step into the charm of a French countryside kitchen with this rare antique wooden faisselle , a beautifully aged piece once used by traditional French cheese makers to craft creamy, artisanal cheeses. Hand-carved from solid wood, this was an essential tool in draining curd and whey, allowing soft cheeses like faisselle, fromage blanc, and chèvre to take their delicate form.

Unlike more common ceramic or terracotta moulds, this wooden faisselle is a rare primitive kitchen find, showcasing a rich, aged patina, natural wood grain, and the authentic wear of time. The metal band reinforcing the exterior is a testament to its long-standing functionality, making it not only a piece of history but also a stunning decor item for lovers of French antiques, wabi-sabi interiors, and rustic farmhouse.

-Rich patina & timeworn character – naturally aged with beautiful imperfections
-Distinctive primitive kitchenware – rare compared to ceramic or porcelain moulds
-Multi-purpose & versatile – use as a decorative bowl, planter, bread-proofing basket, or cheese strainer
-A true piece of French culinary history – ideal for collectors, decorators, and cheese lovers alike
