AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Authentic vintage sewing boxes / craft boxes, made in Europe around the middle of the 20th century (c. 1950s–1960s). This classic model combines functionality with a warm, timeless design and is typical of household items from that period.
The box is entirely made of wood, including the curved carrying handle, creating a cohesive and handcrafted whole. The wood is finished in a warm honey color and displays a beautiful, natural patina.
The interior consists of multiple extendable compartments, which open and close via a traditional scissor mechanism. This mechanism is made of black lacquered metal and operates smoothly. The box rests on metal feet, providing extra stability and a slightly elevated appearance.
The original wooden buttons on the lids are intact and match the design. The existing signs of use and age are limited and fully in line with the age, contributing to the authentic character of the object.
