French, Antique Sewing Case with Sterling Items

Shipping to United States: Free
Sorry, this item has sold.

I believe this case and its contents are circa late 1800s. The exterior of the case is leather with working clasp and silk and velvet interior. The entire leather exterior exhibits much wear. I did not have room for a back photo of the case so please convo me if you'd like this photo as well as any others you may want to request as I'll be happy to oblige.

The interior silk and velvet have wear and the silk has soiling as evidenced in the second photo. Additionally, the case does not stay open on its own. "Made in France" appears in black lettering as see in the second photo.

The sewing tools are embroidery scissors, thimble, bodkin (also known as a lacing or threading needle), etui (containing nine needles and one pin), and awl. All pieces are marked "sterling." The etui also has a diamond mark with "sterling" on one side of the opened case and what looks to be "PP" on the other side. Please see photos three and four for these marks. The scissors have "France" on the blades and the sterling mark is on the outer edge of one handle. The bodkin's mark appears just below the eye on one side and a diamond shape appears at the very tip on one side above the eye. The awl is marked "sterling" on one side with some wear to the silver and what looks to be rust on the spike and above it before the handle as seen in the ninth photo. The thimble has "sterling" on the edge with what looks to be a "P."

I've not attempted to clean or polish the silver but will leave this up to the new owner.

Your sewing case will be sent fully insured via Priority Mail.

Thank you for looking.
