Threshing sledge

Product Description

At a recent show in Europe we could not resist buying this unusual threshing sled.  It is simply beautiful and full of history!

Threshing sled – More quirky and unusual than our normal furniture! We understand that these were once common in the Mediterranean Sea area, and were used for splitting grain with the hard and cutting flints crammed into the bottom part. They were pulled by horses  and a person, sitting on the threshing board, would drive it in circles over the cereal that is spread on the threshing floor.
