Description
A lovely and rather rare novelty item of French silver sewing ware, dating from the early 19th Century. The case is fashioned to represent a key. The body is intricately patterned and has the unusual addition of including a cotton reel holder. The handle and body are linked by an attached chain which is suspended by a 'lyre' style clip. A wonderful collector's piece with a practical use. There is a lovely dot engraving to the body, which reads A F L, S. Maery 1837. Maker :- J E Bushell.
