Folk and Fable Antiques has dated this Antique Sycamore Treen Platter to the 18th Century.
The burn mark left by a hot iron lends the platter a more intimate, human story.
Rather than diminishing the object, this mark enriches it. It speaks of use, of care, and of the hands that once moved through their routines. It carries a small, accidental memory of domestic life, preserved in its surface.
It has a historic split through the middle which is stable, along with the burn mark from the iron and various knife marks representing years of meals. Despite all of this, the platter was never disposed of. It holds lifetimes of stories.
Just wonderful!
Condition is as seen, commensurate with age and heavy use. It has a historic split through the middle which is stable, a burn mark from a period iron and various knife marks from heavy use.
