Description from the seller
Charming and functional vintage sewing work basket from the mid-80s. This model perfectly embodies the industrial design and domestic engineering of the period, marrying a sober aesthetic with extraordinary practicality.
Technical and Construction Features
Material: Entirely made in sturdy yet very light poplar plywood, a hallmark of Italian craftsmanship of the period, renowned for stability and lasting strength. The wood shows a warm honeyed tone with visible natural grain.
Mechanism: Accordion-style swing-open mechanism (3 levels), operated by sturdy shiny metal pull-points fixed with original vintage screws. The movement is smooth and allows access to all compartments simultaneously.
Handle: Solid central handle in finely turned solid wood, ensuring a secure and ergonomic grip.
Space Organization:
- 2 independent upper compartments with lift-top covers for needles, thimbles and small hardware.
- 1 large base compartment running full length for tailor scissors, spools and fabric scraps.
Object Condition
The item is presented in excellent vintage condition. The wood shows no cracks or woodworms; the structure is solid and the metal mechanism is perfectly functional and rust-free. Interiors are clean. Very slight signs of time that attest to its authenticity and enhance its charm (please view the photo gallery carefully, which is an integral part of the description).
