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.

How to Order:
Use the "add to cart" button for spindles that are currently available for sale. 

While most of the "Vintage and Decorative Spindles are one-of-a-kind, we may have materials available to make a spindle that's similar to one that's been sold. You can contact Tom at 1-800-710-1872 or email him, and he'll email you photos of similar rings and/or insets to choose from. An order will take approximately 2-3 weeks to complete.

WE WILL REGULARLY POST NEW SPINDLES

"Rachel the Shepherdess"

In the meantime, while Jacob and the shepherds were talking amongst themselves, a woman named "Rachel" came near with her father's sheep.

3092 Deborah was a Judge of Israel who lived about 3000 years ago, during a time when the nation was ruled by judges instead of kings.She was the only female Judge of Israel. She was also a prophet, and the wife of Lappidoth. She held court in Ephraim in a place called "Deborah's Palm Tree," and the Israelites came to her to decide their disputes.
She called upon the warrior, Barak, and through a message from God told him to mobilize 10,000 men from the tribes of Naphtali and Zebulun to fight the army of king Jabin of Hazor in Canaan. Barak agrees to go to battle, but only if Deborah comes with him. Deborah accompanies the army, but warns Barak that the honor of conquering Sisera (King Jabin's general) will go to a woman instead of him.
Sisera marched his entire army, including 900 iron chariots to the Kishon River. Deborah told Barak "Now is the time for action! The Lord leads on! He has already delivered Sisera into your hand." Barak leads his army down the slopes of Mount Tabor and defeats the enemy. Sisera, who escaped the slaughter by the Israelites, is killed by Jael, a woman, who drives a peg through his head while he is sleeping. This fulfills Deborah's prophecy that Sisera would fall to a woman.

"Henryk Winograd, one of the world’s greatest 20th Century masters of traditional silversmithing techniques, passed away on February 18th, 2008 at the age of 91.  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. Unfortunately, the storm clouds of unrest and war soon overshadowed all plans.  In 1972 he emigrated to the United States and started to produce jewelry and  Judaica

"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"

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies"

          Raoul René Alphonse Bénard

Raoul René Alphonse Bénard (1881-1961) was a French artist sculptor, born in Elbeuf, Seine-Maritime, France. Little is to be found about his early life before he is recorded as studying under the master Jules-Clement Chaplain (1839-1909). This study was a success as in 1911 he won the Prix de Rome followed by a silver medal at the Salon des Artistes Francais in 1922.

She exhibited at the Dudley Gallery, then at the Grosvenor Gallery and its successor, the New Gallery; at the Royal Academy; and at various galleries in the eastern USA, including the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876. A retrospective show of her work took place in the United States in 1982.
