Irish Linen Green Wooden Bobbins Spools Set of Five
About the Item
This set of five wooden spools, or bobbins, are lovely vintage relics of traditional Industrial equipment originally from an old Irish linen mill in Country Antrim, Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland was the home of then Irish Linen industry and Irish linen was famed around the world as being the ‘aristocrat of textiles’ and often referred to as ‘white gold’. The painted tops on these pieces has weathered beautifully, with a crackled surface texture and a turquoise green tone with personality reflecting it’s energetic charm and character from its former life. The color no doubt signified a certain task, instruction or order in the making process, perhaps to indicate the pattern for damask. The wood is equally as charismatic with its visible grain, presumably ashwood, and darkened used color. Would make interesting rustic decorative accents to one’s interior, or simply a collectors item. One would not find many of these remaining today. There condition is perfect with no damage, only one should accept that there is general wear to the wood and paint surface, which makes them what they are - special, authentic and with character.
