Details
This 19th-century French chopper has a wonderfully unusual crescent-shaped blade, hand-forged by a French blacksmith and full of the character that only comes with age. Time has gifted the blade a darkened patina and surface texture that speak to its age and authenticity, while the hardwood handle has mellowed to a soft tactile warmth, bearing the marks and memory of long use. It is easy to imagine it hanging in a French country kitchen, ready to be put to work.

Today, it would be just as lovely tucked among your favorite French kitchen antiques, leaning against an old cutting board or resting on a shelf with pottery and linens. A beautiful heirloom from a time when craftsmanship and utility were intertwined, imagine all the delicious dinners prepared in a French cuisine with the help of this beauty!

  • Measures 7" x 4-3/4" 1-1/2".

Collector’s Notes.

The unusual crescent-shaped blade is what makes this chopper such a wonderful find. French hand-forged kitchen tools were made for work, not decoration, and the beauty today is in seeing the marks of that life—the darkened iron, softened handle, and timeworn surface.

This is an especially charming example of the tools that once made everyday life a little easier.
