Bring wine country to your table with a stunning Provence Platter. Each platter had a first life as a French or American oak wine barrel, once used to age fine wines. When the barrel’s use in the cellar ends, American artisans carefully reverse the traditional cooper’s craft, dismantling steam-bent oak staves and curved barrel heads by hand, and create the beautiful pieces known as Provence Platters.

These historic materials are reimagined into refined serving ware, preserving original cooper’s marks, natural curves, and the oak’s distinctive wine-stained patina. This history creates a depth of character that cannot be replicated; only the natural color of the wine can give the piece its unique appearance. A meaningful alternative to mass-produced goods, these platters are designed to be both functional serving ware and display art. 

Each piece is completed with hand-forged iron handles, individually shaped by skilled metal artisans. The iron is intentionally left with a raw, timeless finish, echoing traditional European cellar hardware and creating a striking contrast against the warm, aged oak. The surfaces are food-safe: they are finished with multiple layers of high-grade beeswax and polished to a quiet luster perfectly in step with the simple authenticity of an afternoon cheese picnic or tapas platter.

The platters are made by a Mennonite craftsman near the Canadian border just south of Buffalo, and the iron handles are forged in Brooklyn by a craftsman who has worked with the company for fifteen years. Every detail of these one-of-a-kind platters reflects a commitment to heritage craftsmanship, sustainable luxury, and enduring design—resulting in functional art meant to be used, displayed, and passed on to you and your family.

Available with lazy susan or without (lazy susan feature allows platter to spin). 

Includes one four ounce glass bottle of natural surface finish. To care for your oak platter, apply a liberal coat of the bees wax and olive oil finish and allow to dry for a couple of hours then buff off with a soft clean cloth.
