Antique Carved Wooden Mixing Paddle or Spatula with Glorious Patina Jacquer Poirer Le Discours de la Méthode The piece measures 6" tallOn a recent antiquing expedition to Maine I became pretty obsessed with old wooden spoons and paddles, resisting most until I came across this one wow, is it beautiful! Photos cannot do justice to its patina it is worn super smooth, with an incredible sheen just spectacular. I think it is very old, perhaps 18th century in fact, and really love the shape of it, with a nice long handle, notched details and middle and end, and wonderfully shaped "blade."
