Rosewood Sewing Box by Edwards
This Georgian rosewood sewing box attributed to Edwards, dating to circa 1830, is of rectangular form and veneered in rosewood with double stringing to the front and lid. The lid is centred with a silver initial plaque engraved ‘JM’, complemented by a matching square escutcheon with inverted corners to the front.
Opening the sewing box reveals a fully fitted interior lined in pink silk water paper with a ruched silk panel to the inside of the lid. The removable top tray is fitted with a selection of solid mother of pearl sewing implements including bobbins, needle cases and thimbles, one of which is sterling silver. Beneath, the lower compartment provides additional storage with a cushioned red velvet base. The sewing box retains its working lock and tasselled key.
The sewing box is undoubtedly attributed to Edwards of London, displaying many of the characteristics associated with the firm’s work, including its distinctive construction, fitted interior and high standard of finish.
