A gorgeous and rare 19th-century swift yarn winder, crafted from warm, honey-toned wood with a beautifully turned central column and domed base. The folding arms concertina out into a dramatic sculptural form, and retract again neatly for storage or display. Perfect for use as intended—or simply as an incredible decorative object.

In excellent antique condition with light age-related wear and patina. The arms expand and retract smoothly. A standout piece for any sewing room, craft space or maximalist interior.
