Historical information

An artist’s palette board is used for mixing and holding paint while painting.
The ergonomic cut-out and thumb hole allow an artist to comfortably grip and control the palette while working.
The well-worn wood suggests frequent use over time, possibly by an artist who worked with oil or acrylic paints.
Wooden palettes were widely used before plastic and glass palettes became common, making this item likely mid-20th century or earlier.
