About the Item

This 19th-century English string holder, once an essential tool in a bustling retail shop, exudes both charm and practicality. Designed to house a ball of twine, the piece features a round, orb-like enclosure with a built-in cutter on top, ensuring effortless access to string for wrapping packages or tying parcels. Elegantly perched on a pedestal, the entire piece is gilded, with a rich patina that tells the story of over 150 years of use. The aged gilding, softened and burnished by time, lends a warm glow that enhances its historical appeal. While originally a functional shop accessory, this string holder now serves as a decorative object with timeless character, blending utility with artistry. Whether placed on a desk, shelf, or in a craft room, it offers a glimpse into the past while adding a touch of antique sophistication to your space.
