Traditional Welsh Lovespoons | Hand Carved Wood

Traditional Welsh Lovespoons

Traditional lovespoons represent one of Wales' most enduring romantic customs, dating back to the 17th century. These hand-carved wooden tokens were crafted by young men as declarations of love and commitment, with each symbol carrying specific meaning.

Authentic Welsh lovespoons feature intricate carvings including hearts for love, Celtic knots for eternal devotion, wheels for hard work, bells for marriage, and chains representing togetherness. Traditionally carved from a single piece of wood—typically sycamore, cherry, or ash—each spoon showcases the skill and patience of the craftsman.

These lovespoons serve as meaningful gifts for weddings, anniversaries, engagements, and Valentine's Day. The traditional designs honor centuries-old Welsh heritage while remaining timeless symbols of affection and devotion.

Each traditional lovespoon in this collection maintains the authentic characteristics of Welsh carving traditions: hand-crafted detail, symbolic imagery rooted in Welsh culture, and quality hardwood construction designed to last generations.
