Antique Wooden Weaving Shuttles (Shuttle Cocks) – Set of 2

Description :
This matching set of two antique wooden weaving shuttles features elongated, tapered bodies with integrated bobbin spindles and carved handholds. Crafted for use on traditional floor looms, these shuttle cocks show smooth wear, darkened patina, and tool marks developed through years of textile work. The wood bodies retain their original form and balance, with metal and wood spindle components intact. Today, they serve equally well as historic textile tools, sculptural objects, or decorative accents in studios, libraries, or industrial-inspired interiors.
