A
uniquely shaped French circa 1820 wooden sewing necessaire with a hand
painted Chinese scene and is even signed on the lower backside for Dreyfous,
the company selling the case. The inside top lid is lined with yellow
silk and has
the sellers name of Dreyfous located in both Paris and New York City.
The
beautiful swag and floral gold gilt repousee tools are nestled into their
velvet-
lined recesses, which include needle case, scissors, thimble, ribbon threader,
crochet hooker and stiletto. The needle case has three indistinguishable
maker
marks and the tools are all original and sound. Slight cracking to the
paint on the
bottom with a few chips as shown but otherwise in excellent condition.
