The Mended Bread Peel

An antique Swedish bread peel (brödspade), hand-carved in pine with a paddle shape and a hanging hole. An old, hand-made repair batten crosses the back — the kind of farm mend that adds to the story. Soft honey patina throughout. From Stockholm.

Material: carved pine, with an old wooden repair.
Era: antique / old, likely 19th to early 20th century.
Condition: sound, with honey patina and an old hand-made repair batten across the back (character, not a fault); dry cracks and wear consistent with age. A decorative wall/serving board.

Once used at the bread oven; now a warm, characterful board to hang or display.
