Francisco Álvarez

Large Spanish  threshing board from the 19th century  made of solid planks of pitch pine , sharpened stones and brought iron reinforcements. Low legs and end caps to support a glass surface where later added to transform it  into a modern rustic coffe table center table 

The threshing board with its jagged stones was used in farming to separate the grain from the chaff at harvest. Placed stone side down, the board was pulled by oxen or mules over the wheat or other cereal on a threshing floor, separating out the straw without damaging the seed.
 It is a thick board, made with a variety of slats, with a shape between rectangular and trapezoidal, with the frontal part somewhat narrower and curved upward (like a sled or sledge) and whose bottom is covered with lithic flakes or razor-like metal blades.
Threshing boards were commonly used in pre-industrial agricultural societies before the advent of mechanized threshing machines. They were often operated by two or more people, who would take turns striking the grain with the flail or rod. Threshing boards were particularly useful for small-scale farmers who could not afford the large, expensive threshing machines used on larger farms.

In great condition with a beautiful patina of use and age.
 Please view photographs carefully as they form an integral part of the description.
