Francisco Álvarez

A beautiful and functional piece of Mid-Century Modern design. This vintage German "Nähkästchen" (sewing box) from the 1950s/60s is a classic example of the era's elegance. Crafted entirely from wood with a warm, rich grain, it features a distinctive trapezoidal silhouette and tapered legs.

Key Features & Craftsmanship:

Materials: High-quality wood construction with a smooth finish.

Hardware: Equipped with its original, elegant brass arched handle featuring a wooden grip.

Mobility: Sits on its four original vintage metal casters (wheels), allowing for easy movement.

Interior: The box opens from both sides via two hinged lids. The interior is well-organized with wooden compartments and original vertical spindles for thread spools.

Condition: The item is in very good vintage condition. The wooden surface shows a beautiful patina consistent with age. The hinges work perfectly, and the brass handle remains sturdy. Please refer to the photos as they are an integral part of the description.

Dimensions:

Height (including handle): 65 cm

Width: 45 cm

Depth: 31 cm

Versatility: While originally designed for sewing supplies, this piece works perfectly as a unique side table, a storage unit for art supplies, or a decorative statement piece in a modern interior.
