Palais Royal Mother-of-Pearl Sewing Box
$8,850
About
The delicate artistry of this 19th-century Palais Royal sewing nécessaire matches the intricate work for which it was made. A pair of scissors, bodkin, thimble, awl, needle case, perfume bottle and two spoked bobbins are all fitted within a velvet-lined tray contained within the box. The box itself is crafted of lustrous mother of pearl, carefully etched and mounted in gilt bronze. At a time when sewing was considered among the greatest feminine arts, a nécessaire such as this would have symbolized one's good taste, as well as her wealth.
