Summary
| Description |
Carved sycamore bread and butter platter (bread board), late 19th century or early 20th century. This type of carved bread board was introduced from Germany into the United Kingdom in 1851 by Prince Albert. At least one established centre for the carving of these platters was Sheffield, England, where two of the 19th-century carvers were Charles Dover and Frederick William Dover (their relationship is unknown). Charles Dover was the father of the Sheffield poisoner, Kate Dover. The bread is made from half maris wigeon flour (an old cultivated wheat, used for thatching in the UK), and half strong brown flour. |
