Description
Lorraine, France. A very rare hemp spinning wheel in fruitwood and beech, entirely enhanced with ebony and numerous turned bone decorative elements. Late 18th century, early 19th century. Height 62.5 cm. Length 64 cm. Minor accidents and missing parts.
Spinning wheels of this high quality are extremely rare and were most likely commissioned by the aristocracy. The finesse of the components, and the consequent fragility of the piece as a whole, indicate a tool that was not intended for everyday production but for a salon pastime.
