1800s Wood Flax Comb Hand Hewn Hetchel Wool Carding Early Antique Folk Art

Description: A glance to our past... the days of spinning flax. This is a beautiful and early example of a hand hewn flax comb or hetchel (also can be referred to as a hatchel or wood carding comb). Each tooth is finely carved and the hew marks are architectural. The color is a warm brown and retains its original, dry patina. It's history and folk art. Hetchels were used to comb flax fibers in preparation for spinning and weaving. Flax weaving began with the first colonists in Jamestown, Virginia and Plymouth, Massachusetts and it was a common household activity. This comb is early and primitive and makes a lovely display. It measures 16-1/4" tall and 11-3/4" across. A few of the teeth have broken over the years, but that shows use and adds character. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for looking!
