A quartet of 19th-century hand-carved wooden spoons, each telling its own story through the marks of use and time. The smallest of the ensemble measures 89.5 cm in length and 12 cm across its bowl, while the largest extends to 105 cm in length with a 15 cm wide bowl. Their generous proportions suggest a history rooted in communal kitchens or open-hearth cooking, where large pots required long handles to stir. The patina across their surfaces speaks to the countless hands that have held them and the many meals they have helped prepare. Collectors will appreciate the tactile connection to the past and the warm, rustic charm that these spoons will bring to any display of kitchenalia or folk art.
