Anniversary or Wedding Lovespoon Celtic Knot Collection

Beautifully carved and finished lovespoon featuring 2 adjoining hearts and a celtic knot symbolising an unbreakable love. This is carved by second-generation woodcarver Phil Arnold at his workshop in Newport, South Wales, close to the Celtic Manor Resort. Made from locally sourced solid Oak, this lovespoon is approximately 11" long. This is one of a collection of Celtic Designs available.

The custom of giving carved lovespoons as love tokens began in Wales in the 17th Century although ornamental carvings in many forms can be dated to much further back. Today, these are given as gifts to people all across the World. The Welsh tradition sees a lovespoon being carved with various symbols which signify the meaning of the gift. The spoon could be as simple or as complex as the skills of the carver allowed and the symbols include the following:

Heart = Love
Bells = Wedding or Anniversary
Lock = Security
Cross = Faith
Twisted Stem = Growing Love
Anchor = Steadfastness
