AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very large, double-sided carved wooden cookie, gingerbread, or speculaas board, probably Dutch and made in the first half of the 20th century.
The board contains about 30 carefully carved scenes. Among them are squirrels, various birds, sheep and other animals, baskets with fruit, grape clusters, flowers and a stringed instrument. The other side shows a few larger figures. Because of the large number of different motifs, this is a striking example of traditional folk art.
Such boards were used to press dough into the carved shapes. Today they are loved as collectibles and as decorations for a kitchen, bakery, or hospitality establishment.
The board is in an authentic used condition with a warm, dark patina. There are aging cracks, signs of wear, discolorations and some old woodworm holes visible. Not checked for active woodworm. The carved motifs are still clear and detailed.
