Conecept
Based on traditional spoon racks. The idea is to brag about ones fancy silver spoons on a beautiful hanger in the kitchen or in the dining hall. This particular type was probably more common on the continent or in North America, than in Sweden. In Sweden the spoons where more often than not hung in the kitchen cupboards.
