This wooden string holder captures a charming piece of Victorian ingenuity in its egg-shaped form. The turned wood body features a detailed engraved scene of Durham Cathedral and text reading "Souvenir from the Banks of the Tyne," with a practical horizontal slot for dispensing string and twin black cord handles for hanging.
Circa 1890, this piece reflects the English tradition of decorative domestic implements that served both function and sentiment. Treen objects, small wooden household items, were popular souvenirs and practical additions to Victorian kitchens and sewing rooms.
