Description from the seller
Antique silver 800/1000 sewing kit with case
Refined antique sewing set preserved in its original shaped case, externally covered and internally lined with ivory-colored fabric.
The set includes several finely worked sewing tools, including scissors, awls, thimble, needle holder, and bobbins, with decorative elements featuring geometric motifs, beading, and small floral details.
Some components bear the 800 punch mark, while inside the case there is an inscription reading “Argento 800/1000.”
Particularly elegant are the tool handles, decorated in relief in a classic style, and the circular needle holder with a blue velvet insert.
An interesting collectible, representative of bourgeois-era personal and embroidery accessories with a tasteful taste.
The case and the inner lining show signs of time, stains, and wear consistent with their age. The silver elements retain their natural patina.
The item has not been cleaned or polished, in order to preserve its patina and the natural signs of time. The purchaser may choose to leave it as is or proceed with cleaning and polishing according to personal preference.

Seller's Story
Welcome to a fascinating journey into the beating heart of the 20th century, where the objects that animated that era are transformed into custodians of timeless stories, passions and emotions in a journey that combines the elegance of antiques with the unmistakable charm of vintage.
From a land rich in traditions like Italy, and in particular from the vibrant South, I dedicate myself with passion to the search for unique finds, authentic witnesses of a century full of history and innovation.
