This fabulous antique wine shovel comes from Chanteduc, the home of Patricia and Walter Wells in Provence. Walter loves collecting old tools that would have been used on their farm. This beautiful tool was originally used in winemaking for breaking up the crus of skins, pulp and stems that forms on top of fermenting wine. Patricia and Walter produce their own delicious wine from the vines at Chanteduc. Note, it has been displayed outdoors in the weather for several years so is in a rustic, timeworn condition.
Heavy wear and rustic condition consistent with age and use.
