1887 Bobbin Bouquet Bouquets Bunch Device Fastener Fastening Florist Florists Machinery Machines Reel Twine Tying
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a close-up view of a florist's device for fastening bouquets of flowers, a vital piece of machinery used in the artisanal world of floristry during the late 1800s. The device, which dates back to 1887, is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the era's floral designers. The machinery consists of a wooden base with a metal reel at its core, upon which a spool of twine is wound. A metal bobbin, attached to a lever, holds the bouquet in place as the florist winds the twine around the stems, securing the flowers in place. The design is simple yet effective, allowing for the creation of elegant and uniformly tied bouquets. The florist would gently cradle the bouquet in the bobbin, ensuring that the flowers were not damaged during the tying process. The twine, once wound around the stems, would be secured by the florist with a quick tug, leaving a neat and finished look. This device, a staple in the floral industry during the 1880s, allowed florists to create beautiful and consistent bouquets with ease and efficiency. Its historical significance lies in its role in preserving the integrity of the flowers while also adding to their visual appeal. The use of such machinery not only streamlined the floral design process but also contributed to the overall aesthetic of the finished product. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the intricacies of a bygone era's floral design equipment. The florist's device for fastening bouquets of flowers remains an essential part of the floral design history, inspiring modern-day florists and continuing to influence the art and craft of creating breathtaking bouquets.
