VTG Set Of 2 Traditional Welsh Love Spoons Hand Carved Wood Wedding Gift Hanging For Sale

This pair of Welsh Love Spoons (Llwy Garu) are a traditional folk craft native to Wales, United Kingdom.

Hand carved from one single piece of wood and is described as the single hard rule of the tradition — These are genuine Welsh Love Spoon craftmanship, likely made as a romantic gift or wedding/anniversary piece, reading almost like a sentence: faith, luck, love, fortune, together forever.

Every motif on this pair maps directly to canonical Welsh Love Spoon symbolism:

• Heart = true/deep love

• Chain link = together forever (also a classic show of the carver’s skill, since it’s cut from the same block)

• Clover/quatrefoil = luck/affection

• Cross = faith

• Horseshoe = good luck

• Diamond = wealth/good beautiful pair of traditional Welsh Love Spoons, each hand-carved from a single piece of wood — the one hard rule of the centuries-old craft.

Welsh love spoons were carved by suitors as tokens of affection, with each symbol along the handle carrying its own romantic meaning.

This pair reads like a love letter in wood: a cross for faith, a horseshoe and diamond for good luck and fortune, a heart for love, a four-leaf motif for luck, and an articulated chain link (carved in place from the same block) symbolizing “together forever.”

Rich mahogany-brown patina throughout. A charming and meaningful piece of Welsh folk art, ideal for a wedding, anniversary gift, or Love Spoon collection.
