Antique Wrought-iron Baking Spatula With An Openwork Handle, Probably From The 19th Century

Welcome to La Trésorerie.

An antique wrought-iron baking shovel, full of character, featuring a long, elegantly crafted handle. The handle features a diamond-shaped openwork pattern and ends with a round hanging loop.

Based on its shape and the ironwork, this piece likely dates from the early 19th century.

The wide blade, forged to a thin gauge, has rounded corners and a slightly curved profile. Its shape suggests it was used to lift or flip flatbreads or other baked goods.

The irregularities in the forging and the dark, weathered surface give this antique utensil all its charm. A beautiful decorative piece for a country kitchen, it would also fit perfectly in a collection of antique kitchen utensils or folk art.

The iron shows signs of wear, surface oxidation, and pitting in places. The photographs allow you to appreciate the details and condition of the item.

Total length: 63.4 cm.
Maximum width of the blade: approximately 15.7 cm.
Weight: approximately 780 grams.
