Butcher's Block

This object is a handcrafted butcher's block mounted on a wooden base. It is a rustic and decorative piece of kitchen furniture that combines several interesting elements: * The block (upper part): This is a thick section of wood designed to withstand knife and cleaver blows. The metal reinforcements in the corners prevent the wood from splitting over time and due to humidity variations. * The base: The legs are solid to ensure stability during cutting. The carved "sawtooth" or scalloped detail under the drawer adds a traditional aesthetic touch. * The horse's head: This is a very distinctive element. Historically, cast-iron horse heads were often found at the entrance of horsemeat butcher shops. Here, it serves as a towel hook or simply as a themed decoration.* The drawer: Equipped with a ring handle, it allows for the storage of knives or sharpening tools (sharpening steel). In summary: It is a piece of professional furniture repurposed for decorating a kitchen or dining room, ideal as an extra work surface or as a distinctive accent piece.
