The piece features a beautifully cast brass bowl with warm, authentic patina, joined to the handle by an elegantly arched brass yoke—an architectural detail rarely seen on surviving examples.

The hardwood handle is hand-turned, richly colored, and smoothly tapered, with subtle ringed detailing that reflects 19th-century craftsmanship. The combination of brass and wood gives this ladle a refined, decorative presence, making it as suitable for display as it is historically functional.

Perfect for collectors of antique brass, early American and European kitchenware, or those who style kitchens and butler’s pantries with sculptural, elevated objects. A standout piece with the kind of form and balance that feels almost ceremonial. See less
