OUTSTANDING FOLK ART CARVED AND DECORATED SPOON RACK. Circa 1800, probably Pennsylvania.

The central motif, a carved church-like building surmounted by a large cross within which is a rectangular carved panel with the initials “K V D” over “D X Y” . The church flanked by smaller towers each with three crosses alternating with hearts. The backboard mounted with three cutout racks for accommodating spoons. The center-most carved with the initials “N K H”. (Possibly the initials of the maker. One could surmise this to be a gift to a couple whose initials are carved within the church structure.)
