Product Description
A relic of the Old World butcher’s craft, this 19th century fox-shaped cleaver was made when form and function were rendered with equal artistry. Forged in an era that prized utility and durability, the blade features a distinctive fox silhouette. The handle, secured with steel rivets, may be fashioned from stag, horn, or richly grained hardwood, each bearing the gentle polish of a century’s use. These natural materials not only provided grip and balance but also imbued each tool with a singular character. In the late 19th century, cleavers of this kind were essential in butcher shops and estate kitchens, prized for their ability to break down game and bone with controlled force. The fox motif, less common, suggests this piece was either a specialty commission or a regionally inspired design, perhaps used in hunting lodges or rural kitchens where field and table were closely entwined.Product Details
