Antique Hand-Carved Wooden Child’s Seaside Spade

A rare and soulful piece of coastal history, this antique child’s spade is beautifully hand-carved from a single piece of wood, likely dating to the early 20th century. With its gently worn patina and elegant simplicity, it evokes days spent at the shore, sand between toes, and memories carried home in pockets.

Every curve and line speaks to the hand that shaped it. The D-handle, long slender neck, and squared blade are all carved in one seamless form, a testament to craftsmanship and care. Whether styled on a wall or cherished as a nostalgic piece of folk history, this is a quiet showstopper.

A poetic piece for those drawn to stories, the seaside and the beauty of imperfection.
