An exquisite 19th Century French Sewing Nécessaire, hailing from the Grand Victorian Period, is a paragon of opulence and craftsmanship. Encased in an original, custom-made ivory box, it epitomises the luxurious aesthetic of the era. Crafted in 18K gilt yellow gold, the set reflects the Victorian era's penchant for extravagant designs, inspired by global influences. It resonates with the period's historical significance. This piece is not just a functional artefact but a window into the lavish Victorian lifestyle.

Needle case bears a boar and eagle head. 18 kt gilt gold on tools; ivory case. This was tough to ID bc marks are insanely small. I can not photograph, but under an illuminated magnifying glass they are distinguishable. The gold gilt looks better than average. There is no silver exposed. There is minor scuffing on thimble lower edge and the needle case (it has a tight fitting top).

Ivory case dimensions 4-5/8” L x 2-1/2” W x 1” T
