Details

This antique 19th-century sewing box has the kind of intimate charm that makes you want to open it and explore every little compartment. The richly toned wood is decorated with delicate brass inlay, and inside, the original pink silk lining and fitted compartments have survived, ready to reveal the treasures tucked away inside. Measuring 11¾" x 8½" x 6" high, it has a lovely presence on a writing desk, dressing table, or tucked among your favorite collected pieces.

The original contents are part of its appeal, from silk thread spools, cut steel buttons, needle packets, a thimble, lace remnants, and embroidery floss to a particularly charming French Palais Royal gilt pin keeper. Even the underside retains its printed toile paper lining. The monogram panel on the exterior adds another personal detail, although the original key is no longer present. Display it open to enjoy the rosy silk interior and its little discoveries, or closed as a handsome decorative box. For anyone who loves the beautiful details of an earlier way of life, this is a wonderful piece to collect and enjoy.

  • Measures 11-3/4" x 8-1/2" x 6"h.

Collector’s Notes.

The appeal of this sewing box lies in its surviving silk-lined interior and the assortment of period sewing accessories still inside. The French Palais Royal gilt pin keeper adds a particularly interesting detail, connecting the everyday ritual of needlework with the decorative novelties prized by 19th-century collectors.
