AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A very large, antique speculaas plank. The plank is 1.07 m tall and features the image of a so-called "Vrijer en vrijster" (a young man and woman). The man wears a tall hat and the woman a distinctive cap or headdress. This type of traditional costume motif was particularly popular on planks from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The plank has a beautiful dark patina that arose from years of contact with the fats from the speculaas dough and exposure to the air. Given the light signs of use and hairline cracks, these are in keeping with the plank’s very respectable age, and is therefore in very good condition, dating presumably between 1880 and 1950. The plank is hand-engraved; see the depth and detail of the older craftsmanship. See the accompanying photos for an exact impression. The package will be carefully packed and insured for shipping.
