Provence Platters Lazy Susan — Medium

Meet your next heirloom piece. Provence Platters reclaims retired wine barrels from vineyards in the countryside of Napa or Bordeaux and turns each one into stunningly beautiful serving pieces, like this Lazy Susan. Like great wine, every piece from Provence Platter takes time and skill to perfect. Each platter takes four or five years to make, from drying out retired wine barrels all the way to using woodworking techniques, like elegant Swiss biscuit joinery, which strengthens the assembled pieces and prevents warping or cracking, seamlessly, without any extra hardware. This item brings added ease and functionality to entertaining (or even everyday dining) with its rotating Lazy Susan base—it’s optimal for use at a seated table. Its surface is completely food-safe, thanks to three coatings of beeswax on the oak wood. And each one is buffed to a soft luster and finished with iron handles, forged by hand in Brooklyn the old-fashioned way: by heating and hand-bending each piece. And the spinning mechanism is made from high-quality aluminum.

Every Lazy Susan is handcrafted and entirely unique (many will bear their original cooperage marks, which share the origins and construction of each barrel). These are some of the most stunning, elegant reclaimed pieces we’ve seen yet—each one is truly a collectible statement piece. Note: The underside of each Provence Platter piece may contain wine stains from its first life.

At a minimum, each piece takes four to five years—these are not mass-produced products—and no two are alike. No rushing, no corners cut. And it shows. Provence Platter’s belief in the romance of wine making and entertaining shine through every piece.
