    Description

    I am selling a collection of chatelaine, sewing and small jewelry items, I have a few other original Victorian sewing kits in box so please see my other offerings. : )
    ABOUT:
    Beautiful antique Victorian 3 piece set in antique box.  Set includes solid silver needle case, scissors and a clover leaf solid silver thimble.  This set is all held in an antique brown leather box.  The box has a push button opening.
    There is a space in the box for an awl but I do not have it so selling it as is for the three pieces.  I believe the thimble is a replacement as it does not match exactly the other designs. All three pieces are hallmarked for solid silver with the French boar's head mark.
    Antique set from the Belle Epoque period that I acquired in France.
    Interesting Victorian collectible items for use or display!
    MEASUREMENTS:
    Scissors are 3 3/4 inches, and the little needle case is 2 3/4".
    IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
    Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned with some age to them so they are in estate condition.  Thimble does not seem to be original as it doesn't match the motif on the other pieces.  The set had an awl in the case but that is missing.  Needle case has a shallow ripple on one side and a pinhead nick on the other.  A few cloudy spots to the stainless steel but all very clean and still fully functioning. Damage to the silk inside top of the box which is threadbare now.  A few spots and wear from age.
    So Please note that due to age, this set is not in mint condition.
    I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my store.  Thanks for stopping by!
