Fruitwood Worker – Late 19th Century
About the Item
In perfect condition, this fruitwood sewing box, dating from the late 19th century, is a rare and precious piece that reflects the elegance of a bygone era. Carefully preserved by its previous owners, it retains all its original nobility and charm. Designed for sewing tasks, it combines functionality and refinement, with a hinged top revealing a mirror, a lower drawer, and a compartment for yarn and sewing accessories.
The mirror’s utility, often essential in low-light environments, allowed for easier distinction of thread and fabric colors, providing valuable assistance during meticulous sewing work.
Originating from an elegant residence bordering the Loire, it was the cherished companion of a young woman from a good family, storing precious threads and delicate items. A witness to creative moments and confidences between generations, this sewing box has traversed time to become an object of charm and collection.
A unique and authentic piece, it will integrate perfectly into a classic, bohemian-chic, or contemporary interior. Its timeless elegance also allows it to be repurposed as a jewelry box, an occasional console, or a small writing desk, adding a refined touch to any space. The original patina and the nobility of the wood enhance its elegant appearance, ideal for antique furniture enthusiasts seeking a piece that combines beauty, authenticity, and functionality.
A rare opportunity to acquire a true testament to the history of furniture, combining style, practicality, and charm.
