About the Item

A rare and evocative mid-19th century Swedish hand-carved wooden spade, beautifully aged and deeply rooted in rural Scandinavian heritage. Once a humble agricultural tool, this piece has transcended its utilitarian purpose to become a striking decorative object. Its organic form, weathered surface, and honest patina embody the principles of Wabi-Sabi — celebrating imperfection, impermanence, and authenticity. Crafted from a single block of wood, the spade features a gracefully worn bowl and integrated double handle, with traces of handwork still visible. Ideal for interior styling, it brings warmth, texture, and a quiet story to modern or rustic spaces alike.
