Vintage Marble Cheese Board Set, c.1970s-1980s
Viridian Eclection
The Set
A cheese board of polished stone with a geometric inlay of deep green, blush pink, cream and black marble, cut as a faceted rectangle with beveled edges. Natural veining runs through each stone segment.
It comes with a matching cheese knife, a stainless blade with a coordinating green marble style handle, and with warm brass tone hardware on the set.
Both pieces sit in the original fitted black presentation case, which is what gives the set its sense of completeness. It was made to be gifted and brought out for occasions that called for a degree of ceremony.
History & Provenance
The set is unmarked, so no maker can be named. The origin is likely late twentieth century export or giftware production.
The faceted silhouette, the beveled edges and the graphic inlay of contrasting stones belong to a late twentieth century postmodern sensibility, and the dating of about the 1970s into the 1980s rests on that idiom and on the construction of the fitted case.
The material itself keeps the piece grounded. The inlay is composed of real stone segments rather than printed or applied pattern, so the veining is particular to this board.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
A serving piece should do more than hold food. This one sets a tone, bringing structure and polish to a table before anything is placed on it.
Styled for a wine and cheese spread, layered into a bar cart vignette, or left out as a sculptural serving piece, it holds its own. Decorative without being fussy, substantial without feeling heavy, and just formal enough to lift the ordinary.
The original case counts for a great deal. A complete vintage entertaining set, board, knife and box together, is a good deal harder to find than a loose board.
Every piece is packed with professional-grade materials: multiple foam layers, double-boxing, directional and fragile handling labels. For large furniture we use custom timber crating. We photograph packing before dispatch and can provide images on request.

All antique and vintage items are sold as described and all sales are final. Each listing includes detailed condition notes and photographs so you can make a fully informed decision. We encourage buyers to ask questions — about condition, dimensions, finish, provenance — before purchasing.
Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
