 Antique & Vintage Sewing Accessories

Sewing Baskets

Most of the sewing related antiques you will find on this and our other Sewing Accessories pages originated from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, and were part two large and diverse antique sewing collections we are handling on consignment.  This is the first time most of these pieces have been out on the market in many years.

 

Wicker Leather Top Sewing Basket This  is a cute little sewing basket full of thread spools and other accessories.  It measures approx 12" across and  5" tall.   It is in overall nice condition noting the tear in the front clasp.  Take a look at the other pictures to see the contents.  There must be close to 50 vintage spools of thread in there!     Click for Pic     Click for Pic     Click for Pic     Click for Pic

Basket Weave "Wicker" Leather Top Sewing Basket  This sewing basket is in really nice condition.  It is empty, but you can fill it with your own favorite vintage sewing items, or better yet with things you find on our other pages!  It measures about 9" across and is fabric lined.  The outer basket weave material looks to be reed or wicker, but it may actually be "faux".  Whatever it is it has a fabulous look.  There is some deterioration to the leather top, but overall still looks good.  It is ready to go and ready for display!        Click for Pic     Click for Pic

A Stitch in Time Sewing Basket  Here is an idea incorporated into a sewing basket I have never seen before.  For the seamstress on a schedule I suppose.   The small clock is marked Germany and it still works.  There is some minor damage to the wicker on the side as pictured, but overall it is really nice.  The green silk tufted lining is still amazingly nice.  This is a really unique and visually appealing vintage sewing accessory!    Click for Pic     Click for Pic     Click for Pic     Click for Pic
