Provence Platters — Vintage Platter

Meet your next heirloom piece. Provence Platters reclaims retired wine barrels sourced from vineyards in the countryside of Napa or Bordeaux, turning each one into stunningly beautiful serving pieces. These particular vintage platters are Provence Platter’s most unique offerings, made from hard-to-find, one-off vintage barrels (up to 20 years old). Their patinas may range from a light honey color or weathered to a darker shade, and many of the tops may contain rare, unique markings. The surface of this large serving platter is completely food-safe, thanks to three coatings of beeswax on the oak wood. And each platter 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. This platter is perfect for entertaining—we like it for elegantly pulling together cheese and charcuterie. These are some of the most stunning, elegant reclaimed pieces we’ve seen yet—each one is truly a collectible statement piece.
