Elegant and refined, this charming antique egg-shaped thimble holder will appeal to lovers of sewing items, antique sewing kits, and collectible curiosities.
Made of chiselled brass, it is entirely decorated with a delicate guilloche pattern forming an elegant radiating design. A fine chain allows it to be hung or worn as a small sewing accessory.
The interior is lined with a golden brown velvet intended to hold the thimble in place, while the lid is lined with an elegant quilted red satin, a testament to the care taken in its manufacture.
The thimble holder comes with a perforated metal thimble. This thimble was added later and is not the original one, but it harmoniously completes the set.
A lovely antique sewing item that will naturally find its place in a collection of antique haberdashery, a cabinet of curiosities, or a Victorian-style decoration.
