This sculptural piece features a wide drive wheel with finely turned spokes, supported on a narrow bench with splayed legs and a slender upright distaff. The natural wood surface has developed a warm, time-worn patina that speaks to its age and quiet utility.

Once used for hand-spinning wool and flax, the wheel now serves beautifully as a display piece — admired for its graceful proportions, craftsmanship, and evocative sense of history. A striking addition to a period interior or as a sculptural focal point in a modern rustic setting.
