Description: ANTIQUE UNIQUE WORKING SPINNING WHEEL The spinning wheel is complete and works great and well-functioning! Description These are ancient Lithuanian spinning wheel. It is an ancient machine that turned fibers into yarn or yarn, which was later woven into a loom on a loom. This item will definitely stand out from the rest as a decorative piece while it works, just like any other spinning wheel. Despite the age, the item is still in working condition. Note that this ancient spinning wheel still has scratches on the DISTAFF (marked in red in the photos). These are not just any scratches. This is Lithuanian symbolism, and it is an old symbol of Freedom-Independence. These are the so-called Lithuanian: Gediminaičius stulpai, lit. 'Pillars of the Gediminids'. And it is very strange that this ancient spinning wheel was not noticed by the Russian occupiers, when they occupied Lithuania and "sat warmly" there... "The Columns of Gediminas or Pillars of Gediminas (Lithuanian: Gediminaičių stulpai, lit. 'Pillars of the Gediminids'; are one of the earliest symbols of Lithuania and its historical coats of arms. The first known use is in 1397. In the seal of Vytautas, later the regiments subordinate to Vytautas marched with flags marked with this sign in the Battle of Žalgiris. They were used in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, initially as a rulers' personal insignia, a state symbol, and later as a part of heraldic signs of leading aristocracy".
