Antique Bobbin Lace Roller Pillow Stand, Ready for Repurposing!

Measures:  19” tall, 8” wide, 7.5” deep, storage box:  3” tall, 8” wide, 4.5” deep

The roller pillow could be recovered (as I have *roughly* demonstrated) or would make a lovely display for a piece of needlework! Dating to the 1800’s, this unique piece was used for making lace.  The roller pillow is mounted between two spindles, there is a storage box attached to the base to store bobbins, thread, and pins.  As you can see, this is a large piece!  The woodwork is in good condition with the usual and expected signs of use.  The box is in excellent condition with the original hinges in place.  The original roller pillow has seen a lot of use, as is shown in the photos.  The cover of the pillow is hand stitched.  It is coming away on one end.  The roller turns easily.  There are several very informative instructional videos online for making lace, I was curious to find out just how it was done!
