    Two Antique Mother Of Pearl Thread Winders
    English * Circa 1850
    These antique silk winders are carved of lustrous mother of pearl. One is in a
    scooped square shape with a slot for holding the thread end.
    The other is more scooped with carved corners. They measure 2 1/4" x 1 5/8" and 1 3/4" x 1 1/8".
    Both are in excellent
    condition with no chips, cracks or other damage.
    Gay Ann Rogers shows a winder like the larger one on p. 163 of her book
    An Illustrated History of Needlework Tools.
