Love Spoons are a historic form of art. The oldest surviving Welsh Love Spoon dates back to 1667; however the art form is known to have been practised in Wales earlier than this.

Love spoons have deep symbolic meaning and were originally carved by men as a token of their affection for a romantic interest. The intricacy of a spoon would depict the skill of its carver to the one receiving the spoon. Over time, the meaning of presenting somebody with a lovespoon has evolved and it has even become common for people to have a collection of lovespoons gathered from many occasions in life; be it a wedding, birthday or the arrival of a newborn.
