Lovely Rustic French Vintage Wooden Butter Churn "Baratte à Beurre" in French. The piece inside to make the butter is not fully attached so I haven't attached it to test if you can still make butter with it as I prefer to use it as a planter. It comes with an aluminum metal pot that can be used as a planter and removable but the piece to make butter is included if you choose to reattach it to test it for making butter.
It has has been taken apart as I removed the screws in the metal pieces so they are not longer attached to the wood and can be removed. I cleaned the piece thoroughly with natural soap and water to remove the age and residue. It has been finished with 100% natural food safe miss mustard seed hemp oil to bring out the original beauty of the wood.
The front reads "Baratte Brevetee - Fabrication PERLOR Française - A travail visible Marque deposee". It is faded in areas so some of the letters are not visible.
--- Condition ---
In restored vintage condition. It is completely aged and imperfect but as mentioned cleaned and painted. Given the age, there are some surface spots/marks/dings in the surface, rusting where there are nails, there are tiny holes in the wood surface, chips and cracking in the wood especially in the inside surface and on one side on the bottom however I believe this is what makes this piece unique and just adds to its rustic charm, beauty and character. Please take a look at the photos closely to review the condition and use ZOOM for detail.
