This Antique French dough bowls were traditionally used for kneading bread dough and were hand-carved from a single piece of wood. The farmhouse bowl is rustic in nature and made from hardwoods, allowing it to survive decades and multi generational use. This large bowl has a rustic and charming appearance, with visible tool marks and the natural grain of the wood but it will also show natural blemishes of the wood and normal wear from daily use. This antique French farmhouse bowl is the perfect decorative item, adding warmth and character to modern homes. Use it as a centerpiece on dining tables, filled with fruit or flowers, or displayed on shelves or kitchen counters as a statement piece.
