Antique Allinson Bread Knife Carved Treen Handle

A lovely antique Allinson bread knife with a carved treen wooden handle and aged steel blade.

The handle is the best feature, carved with a sheaf of corn/wheat design, a fitting decorative detail for a bread or flour-related piece. The reverse is plainer, with simple linear carving. The handle is marked Allinson, suggesting it was likely a promotional or branded kitchenalia piece associated with Allinson bread or flour.

The blade has a long broad form suitable for cutting bread, with age-darkening and pitting from use. A decorative piece of country kitchenalia, ideal for a farmhouse kitchen display, dresser, pantry collection, advertising collection or treen collector.
