Description

A fabulous, unusually shaped tortoiseshell Palais Royale Sewing Box with ornate faceted cut-steel decoration, oval escutcheon and delicate carry handle. Sits on an ivory plinth on top of four cut-steel ball feet.

Opening the exquisitely made palais royal sewing box lid reveals a mirror plate, embroidered silk cushion and removable tray holding a selection of sewing tools (three of which bear an enamelled pansy, the famed Palais Royal trademark), four snowflake winders with gold thread, stiletto, needle case, scissors, thimble, needle and cut-glass scent bottle.
