Antique Bobbin Spool Egg Holder with Egg Timer
A wonderful piece of functional history, this antique bobbin spool egg holder with integrated egg timer brings a touch of nostalgic charm to any kitchen or vintage display. Once part of a busy household breakfast table, it now stands as a delightful example of early 20th-century ingenuity — where even the simplest objects were crafted with care and purpose.
At its heart is a wooden bobbin spool, likely repurposed from the textile industry, giving it that timeless, handcrafted feel. Down the centre slots a classic egg timer, framed in aged brass that has developed a beautiful natural patina over time. The metal round edges show gentle signs of age, while the cork base adds a thoughtful touch — designed to protect surfaces from scratches, just as it did decades ago.
More than just an egg holder, this piece tells a story of everyday craftsmanship — where beauty met practicality in perfect balance. Whether displayed in a country kitchen, nestled among your vintage curiosities, or used as a talking point on your breakfast table, it’s sure to add warmth and character.
