Metal needle case with relief decoration featuring a vase with flowers, ribbons, leaves, and borders within a symmetrical composition. This ornamental repertoire relates to the Louis XVI historicist revival, common in decorative objects from the early 20th century.

Its small format allowed it to store needles for sewing work. Nineteenth-century embroidery nécessaires brought together needle cases with other tools, such as scissors and thimbles; furthermore, two-piece metal cases dated to around 1900 have been preserved. These references support the identification and approximate dating of the specimen, without attributing it to a specific workshop.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
