About the Item
The larkspur, better known as a pastry cutter wheel, is made up of a toothed wheel, usually made of metal, in this case made of bone, rotating around a pin and inserted in the center of a forked rod. The handle, usually made of wood, in this case is made of bone. The larkspur made its appearance at the beginning of the 1500s, linked to the spread of fresh pasta in the diet of Italian and European families.
Considered one of the oldest tools used in the kitchen, which has remained almost unchanged over the centuries, the object hides its origin within its name. Speronella comes from spur. In the eighteenth century, the metal tool was combined with a wooden handle, more ergonomic and functional, but, in the more refined examples, richer materials such as bone, horn and ivory appeared. Italy 18th century.
