Authentic French Farmhouse History
Handcrafted in the 19th century from beautifully aged sycamore, this pair of antique French dairy paddles, also known as battoires bois, is rich in farmhouse tradition. Originally used for skimming cream and stirring milk, these paddles showcase authentic craftsmanship and time-honored dairy practices. Slightly bleached from years of use, they possess a unique charm that makes them perfect decorative pieces for a rustic or country-inspired kitchen.
Perfect for Rustic Kitchen Decor or Entertaining
