A beautiful antique French wooden thread holder, sourced from an antique shop in Lille. Traditionally used in textile and sewing work, this piece was designed to hold multiple spin dles or bobbins of thread, keeping them organized and easily accessible during handwork. Hand-turned from solid wood, it features a circular platform with evenly spaced pegs and a sculptural pedestal base. The surface shows honest signs of age and use—patina, wear, and subtle imperfections that speak to its history in a working household or atelier. dimensions: base: 9.5"dia x 6.5"H bobbin: 7"H Show more
