Scale Model Of A Horizontal Spinning Wheel Made Of Turned Wood - Master's Thesis Project.

A rare and superb miniature model of a horizontal tabletop spinning wheel, crafted from turned wood. This exquisite piece is more akin to a master’s thesis project than a child’s toy, executed with great technical precision.

Features and Highlights:

• Material: Finely turned solid hardwood, featuring a warm and uniform patina.
• Workmanship: The proportions are perfectly accurate. The uprights are topped with delicate, pointed brass finials, characteristic of display pieces.
• Fully functional mechanism: The entire mechanism is operational. The foot pedal (treadle) drives the spoked wheel perfectly. The spindle system, with its bobbin and spindle shaft, is complete and mounted on a carriage adjustable via a functional wooden tension screw.
• Dimensions: Miniature display case size.
• Condition: Exceptional. The item is in pristine condition, with no missing parts, breaks, or restorations.

Ideal for a cabinet of curiosities, a collector of antique tools, folk art, or master crafts.

Dimensions: Length 38 cm. Width 33 cm, height 25 cm.
Please note that the strap is missing (visible in the photos).
