Drayton Hall Preservation Trust

Historic Live Garden Oak Serving Board

Bring a tangible piece of Lowcountry history into your home. This exclusive serving board is fashioned from the fallen wood of the historic Garden House Live Oak at Drayton Hall. For centuries, this iconic oak stood witness to American history on the banks of the Ashley River. Each board beautifully preserves the extreme density, swirling grain, and rugged character that makes Southern Live Oak a symbol of enduring strength. Fitted with custom handles and branded with the Drayton Hall insignia, this piece serves as a striking display board, an elegant centerpiece, or a functional work of art. By reclaiming this majestic fallen tree, we give a timeless piece of Charleston's heritage a second life—creating a true conversation piece and family heirloom.
