The current owner (S.N.J. S.) purchased the thimbles from P.P. in Baarland, the Netherlands.

Background Information:
This pair of bronze sewing thimbles dates to the late Medieval period and represents essential tools of textile production and garment repair. Thimbles protected the finger while pushing a needle through heavy fabrics, leather, or multiple layers of cloth, making them indispensable to tailors, leatherworkers, embroiderers, and households alike.
The larger example features the characteristic domed form with closely spaced punched indentations covering the surface, while the smaller thimble has a more tapered profile with a neatly arranged pattern of dimples. These indentations provided grip for the needle and reflect the established manufacturing techniques employed by specialised metalworkers during the 15th and 16th centuries.
Bronze thimbles of this type are regularly recovered from medieval towns, castles, monasteries, and rural settlements throughout northwesternope, illustrating the widespread importance of textile production in everyday life. Sewing was not only a domestic activity but also a skilled craft carried out by professional artisans supplying clothing, footwear, and household furnishings.
Complete medieval bronze thimbles are increasingly appreciated by collectors because they are durable yet often found damaged or heavily worn after centuries of use. This matching pair provides an excellent illustration of the variations in size and form that existed for different users and sewing tasks.
These objects form a tangible connection to the medieval world, where skilled craftsmanship and textile production were fundamental aspects of daily life and economic activity."
