Description

Here's another first for me....this is an 18thc "lacemakers /ribbon makers" oak and pine "frame"....the lady would sit at the front of the frame and pull the lace or ribbon off as she needed it, having previously wound the lace / ribbon around the top rail....it has had plenty of careful use as the stretchers and top rail are nicely worn and it has gained a wonderful mellow colour....I love this piece of social history and could see this happily placed in a cottage, still being used today, not for lace / ribbon, but maybe a very nice towel rail...picture rest....dog lead holder....the list is endless....in original condition and a real treasure..!

FAQs

An antique lace and ribbon makers frame is a specialised domestic tool used in the eighteenth century to support pillows or bobbins during the intricate hand-production of lace and narrow textiles.

These utility objects were typically fashioned from locally available native hardwoods and softwoods, most commonly incorporating durable oak and pine components joined with simple peg or tenon construction.

Authentification relies on examining the tool marks, hand-cut joinery, timber shrinkage, and natural oxidisation or patination consistent with age-appropriate wear from the 1760s and 1770s.

Such sculptural, primitive wooden implements make exceptional display pieces when placed on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or console table to add historical texture and architectural interest to a room.

Preservation requires keeping the object away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and high humidity, occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to protect the historic surface patina.
