AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This sewing box is an original piece of furniture from the Mid-Century era and has been carefully restored.

The body is made of veneered wood and has been finished in a new matte black tone. The graphic stripes in warm wood tones emphasize the era-specific character and echo the clean design language of the 1950s/60s. The slim, conical wooden legs are well proportioned and finished in a color that complements them.

The door handles were also repainted. The shade was deliberately matched to the brass-colored carrying handle and harmoniously picks up its warm gold tone, creating a calm and high-quality overall impression.

Inside, the sewing box offers a practical compartment layout with plenty of storage space for sewing tools. The lids that fold open on both sides operate smoothly; the original brass fittings, as well as the curved carrying handle with a wooden grip, are in working order and well preserved.

A veneer repair is located inside, in the area beneath the handle screw. It was professionally carried out and is not outwardly noticeable. Age- and use-related signs of wear are present and correspond to the age of the piece of furniture; they emphasize the authentic vintage character.

For shipping, the legs and the handle are dismantled to ensure safe transport.

A decorative yet functional one-of-a-kind piece with a clear mid-century vibe.
