Known in France as a billot de boucher, this long, double butcher block dates to circa 1900. This is a stunning example with a crenellated apron and high rising back wall that softens the overall linear composition. Supported by six tapering spindle legs (three in the front and three in the back), the robust chopping surface stands 32 ½ inches tall. A raised lozenge has been carved over each front leg, also flanking the two amply spaced belt drawers.
The shapely back wall has a long, raised ridge that is segmented into three sections, capable of storing knives, tongs, and other kitchen implements. A pair of exposed nail heads can be seen on each of the crests of the back wall, allowing for hanging of certain utensils or towels. The chopping surface has an additional four slots for housing various utensils, making this a very practical option for a kitchen island or prep station.
