Description from the seller

Sewing basket / vintage accordion-style sewing carrier from the 1960s/70s.
Solid walnut-finished wood structure with an elegant handle and brass swivel feet. Dramatic butterfly-shaped opening on 3 levels with a brass lever mechanism that works perfectly.
Composed of 5 compartments: 2 top ones with lids, 2 middle ones, and 1 large central drawer, all lined with original red velvet/felt in excellent condition.
Closed dimensions: approximately 40 x 25 x 50 cm (including the handle).
Open dimensions: about 80 cm in width.
Condition: good vintage condition, with typical signs of use and a few small paint chips on the lid and handle, plus a few substituted screws visible in the photo, all consistent with its age. Mechanism solid and smooth.
Perfect as a sewing box, but today also commonly used as a jewelry box, makeup holder, crochet organizer, or as a small side cabinet.
Fast shipping with careful packing.
