The Large Jewelry Lot

&nbsp;This elegant burlwood etui has all its original tools, which are indicated by our client as 14K, though we were unable to find stamps indicating this, or to decipher the hallmarks. However, compulsory stamps to indicate carat weight were not in place until the 1920s, and this etui likely dates to the early-mid 1800s. The case is inlaid on the front cover with a small monogrammed silver and ebony cartouche, and ebony floral corners within double borders. The back has a single ebony border. Push button hinged cover opens to the cream-colored velvet interior, with fitted spots for each tool, defined by a board outline. Includes needle case, punch, bodkin, scissors, and a t<span style="font-size: 1rem;">himble, all in excellent condition.

Assorted Jewelry &#38; Sewing Novelties , most Sterling  w/Vitrine

Mother of pearl, also known as nacre, has long been used for decorative inlay into furniture, religious and decorative objects, as cutlery handles, and as handles for small tools. It became especially popular in the mid-1800s, as the Victorian love of natural materials and ornamentation prevailed. This collection of antique sewing items is highlighted by the c.1810 French necessaire, a small sewing kit that would have been part of any well-to-do woman's arsenal. This one is complete, from the Palais Royal shops situated in arcades built by Louis Phillipe II, the Duke of Orleans--a luxury shopping destination from the 1780s through the mid-1800s. Housed in a gilt-stamped red leather case with a mirror under the lid, each item rests in a specially fitted spot, all with silk-covered board surrounds, in pale mushroom velvet. Two thread winders, a needle case with gold banding and small enamel inset flower, bodkin, punch, thimble with gold banding, steel scissors with gold and fish-motif mother of pearl handles. Tools are in fine condition; gold is likely 18K; case shows slight wear commensurate with age and use. We were unable to find carat weight marks, but these were not compulsory until the 1920s. We've also included a variety of small items, a few in abalone: thread winders; picks; cutting tools; shuttles for tatting; a set of earrings and pin, c. 1910; a school of fantastically delicate fish that serve as thread winders, from China, c. 1890; and coin shaped winders, same. All displayed in a wooden vitrine with dove-tail joinery, glass lid, with brass hinges and clasp.&nbsp;                                                                <br>Condition: overall excellent<br>Measurements: 22&#34;W X 17.5&#34;D X 3.5&#34;H<br>Pickup category timeslot {A}

Tape-measures and Pincushions

The chatelaine was designed to keep useful tools close at hand--ranging from sewing to personal care--and intended to be clipped to a belt, since women's clothing rarely included pockets, while the long chains allowed tools to be used without unclipping them. Popular from the 17th - early 20th centuries, with earlier examples as far back as ancient Rome. This gorgeously detailed example is copper over steel. A single chain hangs from the belt hook, with four separate chains hanging from a central loop. These chains each have a spring-ring clasp to attach the accessories: a comb case, a perfume bottle with glass dabber, a mirrored powder compact with original puff, and a compact with two mirrors, one significantly de-silvered. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;                                                                                <br>Condition: excellent<br>Pickup category timeslot {A}

Beautiful scissors were exported throughout Europe from manufacturing towns in Italy. They were well known for quality of work-manship. Again there is reference to the Eastern influence that established strong centers of steel manufacturing in Italy and Spain during the Moors' occupation of these countries. Jewelers made beautiful scissors for those who were wealthy and the ruling class.</span><div>Utilitarian scissors made of brass and iron were used by the working class. Since the Victorian period, it is not uncommon for the blades to be manufactured in Germany or England and the handles added by the manufacturers in a different country. Scissors and other sewing items have been produced in miniature as charms, and game pieces, and as toys for dolls and young girls.<br></div><div>Reference: Helen Lester Thompson&nbsp;</div>                                                <br>Pickup category timeslot {A}
