A genuine vintage wooden bobbin — about 7 inches tall.

Reclaimed from a working mill, these old wooden bobbins have lived a proper industrial life and now make exceptional decorative objects. We use them as candle holders (a tea light sits beautifully in the groove), as bookends, or just stood up on a shelf as a quietly handsome thing to look at.

Each one different — turned wood, weathered, marked by use. No two the same.

A bit of textile history for a modern shelf. Pairs with the 9-inch version if you want a matched pair of different sizes.
