Traditional handmade nine Inch high lovespoon symbolised by carefully carved interlinked hearts depicting togetherness and unbreakable love. Option to choose laser-engraving of names - one on each solid heart - and a date in the spoon bowl is included if you want it. The finish is a polished coloured beeswax.
Carved from a solid piece of Oak by Marianne at her workshop in South Wales, the wood is sourced from the local historic Wentwood Forest. Each 9 inch lovespoon comes in a quality lidded gift box containing information on the history of the lovespoon. A personal message can be included in the box.
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 to celebrate special life events such as engagements, weddings, anniversaries, christenings, graduations and more. They make excellent wall hangings alongside family photos and other emotive ornaments which bring joy to your heart. The 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
