AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A nineteenth-century sewing kit made of solid silver, very beautiful in solid silver. The needle case is engraved with a decoration of a woman from Greek mythology: the woman with the mirror. The pieces are stamped; I can’t find the hallmark on the pair of scissors, but I’ve included an acid test. Solid silver. The condition is as shown in the photos. The box is lyre-shaped with mother-of-pearl inlays.
