"Spirit of Nova Scotia" Bandloom

An important and early Nova Scotia bandaloom with tulip shaping on the support posts and at the top of the rigid heddle, which also features incised Germanic motifs of three pinwheels, cross-hatching, and a series of cross-hatched ovals along the end of the baseboard. An incredible survivor in dry original red paint and rosehead nail construction with butt joints. The reel supports are mortised through the baseboard.
