Antique & Vintage Sewing Accessories
Thread Holders / Thread Stands
Page 1
Most of the sewing related antiques you will find on this and our other Sewing Accessories pages originated from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, and were part two large and diverse antique sewing collections we are handling on consignment. This is the first time most of these pieces have been out on the market in many years.
Antique
Victorian Thread Holding Box
This combination pincushion / thread holder / sewing box is about 6" tall and
7" across. You would lift the pin cushion out to reveal spool pins and
then have the thread come out the various bone or ivory gimlets on the front.
Note there is one decorative tower missing in the back left corner.
Otherwise it is very nice and a period piece. It looks to be made of pine
and mahogany.

19th
Century Victorian Multi Tiered Thread Holding Stand
This revolving thread stand is really nice. Note the acorn finial on
the top. It has a walnut base and fabric pin holder built into it.
The two 5 point star thread platforms lift off and / or revolve. It
is just over 9" tall and the base is about 5 1/2" across.
A really fine example!

19th
Century Victorian Walnut Revolving Thread Holding Stand
This revolving thread stand is very nice. It has a walnut base and
fabric pin holder / cushion built into the top. There is a second type of
wood used to add contrast. It is a little over 6" tall and the same across the
widest part. It is a very nice example and well made.
Different!

Quarter
Sawn Oak Arts & Crafts Thread Stand / Box
This is a really nice piece. It has spindles to hold 6 spools of
thread on top, underneath the pincushion. And it has a provision for
storing spools of thread, or any sewing or needlework tools, in the drawer, and
then you could run the ends of the thread out the top through any of three
openings at the corners. There is a thimble holder in the fourth corner.
The box measures about 8" x 8". The grain of the quarter sawn oak is
really nice and bold. The dust is included at no charge.

Walnut
Stepped Base Thread Stand / Pincushion
The stepped base of this spool holder is a nice contrast to the round
flat top. The period pincushion in the checkerboard pattern fabric slips
onto the center spindle.

Walnut
Sewing Box / Thread Stand / Pincushion
This antique spool holder is constructed in the fashion of a larger piece
of furniture. It measures just 4 1/2" wide by 4 1/2" deep by 7" tall.
It is extremely well made with attention to detail including the rounded front
of the drawer and the heads of the spool pins. The number 307 is impressed
into the underside of the bottom in a manner similar to what I have seen on
period pieces of furniture.

Early
Inlaid Walnut Thread Stand / Pincushion
This antique spool holder is nicely crafted with inlaid strips of
contrasting wood, a rounded front drawer, and spool pins made from unusual nails
that have rounded raised heads, which I believe are original to it. The
box portion measures about 4 1/2" square, and it stands 7" tall to the top of
the pincushion.
