antique folk art wooden abacus

An early 20th century wooden abacus composed of painted red, blue, and ochre thread spools set within a freestanding blue frame. The repetition of the spools creates a measured architectural rhythm, lending the piece a composed Primitive presence. Displayed on a bookshelf, desk, or within a collected farmhouse interior, it brings structure, color, and quiet visual movement to a space.

CONDITION

In good condition with wear consistent with age and use. Great patina to the tone and wear to the paint.
