100+ Year Old Wooden Spools – Hand-Colored with Natural Vegetable Dyes (Set of 3)

Step into a forgotten era with this rare set of three antique wooden spools, each over 100 years old, sourced from the weaving chest of a merchant family haveli in Churu, Rajasthan.

🪵 Crafted from aged teak wood, these spools retain their original hand-painted finish — a unique blend of natural vegetable dyes extracted from tree leaves and herbs, as was customary in the 19th–early 20th century. The stunning red tones and faded green-black borders speak of natural pigments and time-worn beauty that no modern replica can capture.

🔴 No chemical paints were used — this set is a fine example of traditional Indian textile tools, used in the preparation of sarees, shawls, and bridal textiles in royal households.

Every dent, scratch, and worn edge on these spools is authentic — a mark of its century-old journey through looms and hands.
