Spread creamy butter on a French baguette, preserves on a crisp slice of wheat bread, tangy chèvre on a cracker, hummus on pita, or cream cheese on a bagel with French Home’s set of 8 Laguiole spreaders and round acacia wood board. The handles of these spreaders in stunning pearlized shades of pewter green, sage, blue, and silvery white contrast beautifully with the natural wood board ideal for casual elegant entertaining. The Laguiole design is renowned for having a three-rivet curved handle with the iconic bee emblem on its bolster symbolizing Napoleon and the French monarchy. Laguiole is a town in France where this style originated in the 1820s.
The board was a nice size - big enough to hold three or four cheese options, but small enough to fit in the cabinet. I love the shape of the knives, and the “pearlescent” finish. The quality of the finish was uneven - a couple of the knives have a tarnish or spotting near the rivets. I think this is a good value for the price, and would make a nice set to gift.. Courtney.
