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 three 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.
American
Folk Art "Tramp Art" Chip-Carved Sewing Box This is
a great piece of early Americana / Folk Art. It is unusually colorful
and has almost a holiday feel to it with the reds, greens and golds. Perhaps
it was originally given as a gift during the holidays by the anonymous maker.
It measures just under 12" across. The lid is hinged and opens to reveal
a little oval mirror on the underside of the lid and several interior compartments.
Note the red velvet pin cushion on the top, indicating it was made for the seamstress
in the family. That same red velvet fabric was the material used for the
red-colored inlay that you see, while the greens and golds are painted, and
all completely original and un-restored. The detailing is meticulous,
particularly the tiny keyhole. The came from the same collection as the
rest of the boxes we have listed here. Interesting and very nice!

"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!

Raised
Panel Walnut Sewing Box / Cabinet This beautiful and elegant
antique sewing box or cabinet is period and has very nice chip carved decorations
on the raised panels and backsplash. It dates from the 1880's or so, and
is handmade. It measures just over 13" across the top, and 20 some inches
tall to the top of the headboard. It is beautifully crafted and looks
like a piece of fine miniature furniture. In nice overall condition, there
is minor damage / chips at the front edge of the lid and deterioration to the
velvet fabric of the pin cushion. The backsplash has separated along a
joint line, but it can be fixed easily enough. An unusual and beautiful
vintage sewing accessory!
