AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A vintage, accordion-style wooden sewing box (or sewing chest) is shown, typically from the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s.
Key features of the item:
• Design: Multi-level (three-tier), openable structure that opens like an accordion when pulled to the side, thus providing access to all storage compartments at once.
• Materials: High-quality, natural or varnished wood (such as beech or pine), with contrasting, dark-painted wooden stiffeners (arms) and a carrying handle.
• Use: Originally designed for the organized storage of threads, needles, buttons and other sewing and tailoring supplies, but today it is also popularly used as a jewelry box, for storing creative/art supplies or as a retro element of home decoration.
The small compartments on one side are removable for easy storage of small items. When folded, it is 45 cm wide and when opened, it is up to 116 cm wide.
It is in very good condition for its age, with minor signs of use.
We can post it carefully packaged, in an insured, registered package.
