Crafted with exceptional care, it stands as both a functional piece of sewing history and a captivating object of art. Intricate Engraving & Design Ornate Detailing Each side of the thimble features delicate, hand-engraved motifs, highlighting the meticulous artistry once devoted to sewing implements. The patterns blend floral or geometric elements (depending on the specific design) to create an eye-catching, textured surface. Gold Construction Fashioned from precious gold, this thimble’s warm luster adds a luxurious note. The material ensures durability—making it as practical in a sewing basket today as it was in its era of origin. Hallmarked ‘S’ Inside the thimble is a hallmark “S,” indicating either the maker or a specific assay mark. This hallmark underscores the piece’s authenticity and collectible status. Dimensions & Weight Weight: Approximately 3.2 dwt (pennyweights), offering a reassuring solidity without compromising the piece’s delicate craftsmanship. Size & Fit: Designed for standard thimble use, it fits comfortably on most fingertips. Collectors often display antique thimbles in specialized cases, allowing the engraving to remain fully visible. Why Choose This Antique Thimble? Historical Value Antique gold thimbles were once markers of status and artistry. Owning one connects you to a long tradition of decorative yet functional craftsmanship. Ornamental & Functional Whether displayed as part of a curated antique collection or used for fine needlework, the thimble’s engravings create a visually stunning focal point. Collectible Rarely available in such well-preserved condition, this piece has appeal for sewing enthusiasts, antique collectors, and lovers of unique gold artifacts alike. Care & Maintenance Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain the gold’s shine. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that may damage the engraving or gold surface. Storage: Keep in a small, soft-lined jewelry box or display case, protecting it from dust, moisture, or scratches. Embrace the charm and heritage of a bygone era with this Antique Gold Thimble. Its intricate engraving, precious metal craftsmanship, and collectible hallmark make it a truly special piece for any connoisseur of decorative arts, heirloom sewing implements, or luxurious curiosities.
