Late 18th Century Scottish Antique Spinning Wheel, Circa 1790, In Full Working Order
A late 18th Century antique treen spinning wheel. This works wonderfully and has undergone only minor sympathetic restoration.
Scottish origin, most probably originating from the Hebridian Islands, circa 1790.
Constructed from oak, elm and beech.
With a flywheel above a base (table) carved with a love-heart over turned front and rear legs and a shaped treadle.
Re-strung with a new drive band.
All timbers are completely original aside from the footman (drive shaft which connects the treadle to the wheel).
This has wonderful patination.
