Authentic antique textile printing roller, dating to the late 1800’s
Red End 1488-1 Constructed of solid hardwood with hand-set metal pattern elements, this roller was originally used in industrial fabric or wallpaper printing mills. The raised floral motif is created from individually placed metal pieces—a labor-intensive process no longer used today. Retains original patina, wear, and factory markings consistent with age and use. The red metal end flange with stenciled numbering indicates original mill indexing. No restoration or alterations have been made.
