Wooden Industrial Cotton Bobbin

Antique Wooden Bobbin with Metal Quill – Vintage Textile Industry Haberdashery

Step back in time and add a touch of authentic industrial history to your home with this striking vintage wooden & ply bobbin. Once a hard-working tool in a bustling 19th or early 20th-century textile mill, this primitive spool has been beautifully preserved and comes complete with its original removable wooden quill.

Measuring 23.5 cm high (without the quill inserted) and 10.5 cm in diameter, this generous piece of haberdashery history features a gorgeous, naturally aged patina. The rich, dark wood tones are perfectly complemented by the rustic industrial metalwork, showcasing decades of genuine factory wear and tactile character.

Styling & Decor Ideas:

• Industrial Chic Accent: A fabulous standalone statement piece for a rustic mantel, open kitchen shelving, or an office desk.

• Creative Flower Vase: Remove the quill and use the hollow center to hold a stem of dried lavender, cotton bolls, or pampas grass.
