Based in stunning Speyside, Moray, Scotland, we (Mr & Mrs W) are passionate about quality antique items with great design and evident craft, predominantly from the 18th, 19th and early 20th century.
In particular, we enjoy period items reflecting the beautiful design and aesthetic changes from the decorative arts, from circa 1850 - 1960. Including the Aesthetic Movement, Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts Movement (In particular of Scottish origin), Modernism, Art Deco and Streamlining. We also enjoy the great craft and quality construction in folk art and vernacular items from across Europe. In particular, Scandinavian decorative items from the 18th and 19th Century. We enjoy being analytical in our approach and supporting our stock with background research, provenance and history through researching the items, the period, designers and retailers.
We often hunt the country from our Scottish location, but routinely search from Lancashire and Yorkshire as well as buying trips further afield to supply items online. We also like to take on items that particularly interest us from earlier periods, dependent on our fascination for an object.
We are always learning, and happy to share knowledge gained, so please do get in touch. Thanks for viewing our selection of stock, we are always pleased to see items pass through our hands to new owners and homes as antiques remain a great green recyclable purchase!

Description
For sale from W&W Antiques is an attractive and useful Scottish vernacular bannock spade and hanging girdle set.
- These highly useful utensils are a blacksmith-made heart shaped wrought iron bannock spade and is from the first half of the 19th Century. They were used from the beginning of the century and designed for simply turning the bannocks on the girdles. They were predominantly used in the lowlands but also recorded in the more easily accessed areas of the highlands.
- The bannock spade has an attractive and decorative looped end to the handle for hanging.
- The wrought iron, folding and hanging girdle was a hot iron plate suspended over the fire for cooking bannocks in particular. The loop hanger folds flat and also has a small latch to secure it in place upright when in use.
- Both in solid, robust antique iron and perfectly usable today over an open fire. They make a particular attractive pair hung on the wall.
- Bannock spade: 50cm (Length) x 13cm (Wide)
- Girdle: 36cm (Wide) x 24cm (Tall with handle up / suspended)
Ready for a new life in a new home after 170+ years of utility.
