The Allmoge Scoop

A large antique Swedish scoop, hand-carved from a single piece of wood, with a hollowed bowl and a solid handle. The dark, worn patina and visible carving marks tell of long farm use. Primitive, sculptural and full of character.

Origin: Sweden (allmoge / folk-made). Maker: unsigned.
Material: solid carved wood.
Era: antique, likely 19th to early 20th century.
Condition: sound, with a heavy dark patina, visible carving marks and worn edges (character, not damage).

Once used to scoop feed or grain; now a striking primitive piece to display on a wall, shelf or table.
