Wooden spoon. An antique carved spoon decorated in a naive style, fashioned from a light weight wood with the decoration protected by a varnish or glaze, the finish sports a light craquelure, testament to the age of the spoon, 21cm in length.

In the days before functional objects were routinely made from metal, wood was the preferred medium, such objects collectively being known as Treen. Wealthy customers would be able to commission items from the most skilled craftsmen and the best quality woods. Genuine Treen will have a beautiful patina from age and generations of use.
