Provençal Petrin in solid wood of Merisier

The provençal mixer, whose first references date back to the fourteenth century, is a utilitarian piece of furniture that was used for a long time to knead bread dough. A must-have piece of furniture in any house decorated in the provençal style. The kneader was a utilitarian piece of furniture when bread was made at home. If the first were in stone, it was transformed into furniture to be integrated into the furniture of the house. When the need to make bread at home was no longer felt, the kneader kept its utilitarian function to store flour and then various foods or kitchen utensils. This piece of furniture is distinguished by its refinement; in provence, he is the obligatory partner of the panetière. It is in arles and fourques that the most beautiful models were made. According to the provençal regions, it is a trapezoid trough that rests on a base in four uprights connected by a spacer. Solid cherry wood. Weight 65 kg. Dimensions: l = 94 cm; h: 79 cm; p = 54 cm.
