Antique Pine Cawl Spoon Rack with Heart Detail

A great example of a three-tier early 20th Century pine spoon rack with capacity to hold up to 15 spoons.

Made of pine, it is a well constructed and solid piece, and has a lovely rich  honey colour and wonderful patina. The hole for hanging this onto the wall is in the shape of a heart, making this rack a little unusual. This treen spoon rack may be Welsh in origin, as they were often made to display Welsh cawl spoons.

This spoon rack is a great size, with capacity to hold eight spoons on each of the two tiers. The holes are all 2.5cm in diameter, meaning it can be used for spoons as well as a range of other kitchen utensils.

The spoon rack is in great overall condition. It is quite a rustic piece and has some surface scratches and light marks. There is an old crack to the wood at the top of the rack to the above the heart on the right hand side. However, this does appear to have been glued and is not loose. The rack can still be used.
