Golding “Vintage and Decorative RingSpindles” are one-of-a-kind spindles made with rings other than the standard bronze alloy ring that surrounds the whorl, and/or with decorative whorl insets. Most of the ring collection is of vintage stock, made from a variety of unique and interesting materials:
- etched sterling silver
- etched brass
- etched copper
- mother of pearl
- turquoise
- cloisonne
- horn
- bone
- abalone
- malachite
- needlepoint
With the weight still on the outer circumference in the form of a ring, these spindles spin as well as the ones made with the bronze alloy ring, and with such an extensive collection of rings and decorative insets the artistic possibilities are endless.
The whorls are made from black walnut, cherry, linden, ebony, butternut, or purpleheart. Many of the wooden whorls have designs that are finely scrolled and handcarved by either Tom or Seth, or are handpainted by artist Jan Elliott. Whorls may have decorative insets of turquoise, sterling silver, handpainted Russian lacquer, Damascene, Italian micro-mosaic, and many other materials to choose from.

He was the leading practitioner in America of the historic art of Repoussé. Henryk Winograd was born in 1916 in Biala- Podlask, Poland. From his earliest years he was attracted to drawing and the delicate skills of metal work. His mother’s small business was just down the street from a metalworker’s shop and so he started learning the trade, making decorative grills and other practical objects.

As Written on Inside of Inset
(not visible)“The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in England in 1848 by a group of artists who disapproved of the triviality of contemporary painting and it’s enthusiasm for Raphael, whom they thought over-praised. They chose serious subjects, often with a religious, moral, or mediaeval theme”
