The Lovespoon Gallery

This unique gallery holds the leading selection of designs from the principality's finest carvers of lovespoons. It is conveniently situated in the centre of Mumbles village, near the seafront. The lovespoon is a traditional Welsh art form.

The custom of giving Lovespoons originated in Wales probably as early as the Sixteenth century. It is thought that the Lovespoon developed from the "cawl" (Welsh broth or soup) spoon. Traditionally, young men would fashion intricately carved wooden spoons and present them as love tokens to their chosen sweethearts. All lovespoons in the gallery are handcarved by craftsmen working in Wales.
