1851 Rosemalled Flax Spinning Wheel

This is a "dated" flax spinning wheel (see photo). It is very unusual to find a spinning wheel marked, especially in excellent original condition as this one is. The dimensions are 45 3/4" from the floor to the top of the tallest staff. The depth is 27" front to back, and side to side is 15" at the widest part. It has been polished up a bit, just to get the dirt off. It can be dismantled down to the base with the wheel still attached. The winder has original teeth and a fair amount of oily buildup from usage. It has one piece of wood chipped on the winder (see photo). The treadle still functions the way it should, and all of the parts are in good working order. All the painting is done in red, green, and dark blue. We feel this is a very rare and beautiful spinning wheel that deserves a home by your fireplace!
