This dark wood second-hand sewing box in a country style is charming with its simplicity and delicate design. Its four compartments, complemented by a central tray, willingly accommodate skeins, threads, scissors, and ongoing projects, in a piece of furniture designed to keep the essentials within reach. Its height allows it to be placed near an armchair or sofa, where it elegantly accompanies moments of sewing or knitting. In a living room, its top can hold a few spools of thread and a patinated metal lamp for a delicately arranged scene. Length: 50 cm Width: 24.5 cm Height: 60 cm Height of the compartment: 6.6 cm A Brief History of the Sewing Box Born in the 18th century under the name "work table," the sewing box is the creation of mechanic cabinetmakers who competed in ingenuity to create furniture with secret compartments. Unlike a simple box, it is defined by its light base and its expanding compartments designed to house threads and needles. Also called "pedestal sewing box," it is now wonderfully repurposed as a bedside table or a charming jewelry box.
