This wooden spoon, carved by Claude, a former SNCF electrician born in 1924, embodies a family memory passed down through gestures and manual work. In the family home, values connected to craftsmanship, care for materials, and the beauty of useful objects were shared and lived.
The initials “CAP,” engraved in the wood, evoke a quiet and deeply affectionate story of transmission.
The object thus becomes an anchor within a genealogy—a tangible reminder that some inheritances are passed on less through words than through materials, habits, tools, and objects that are kept.
And perhaps that is, ultimately, what this spoon still holds: the memory of a man whose love was expressed through the things he made.
