This ca 1870's sewing needle packet holder is a wonderful example of Victorian whimsey and decorative chromolithography.
The overall height is 2 3/4" and when open extends about 6 3/4". The china thimble is
repaired and the lid hinge also shows wear and repair.A little bit of Dresden paper is missing on the pincushion lid.

The scale is more or less 1" to the foot. The set consists of a sofa, an armchair with a magazine holder, a rocker, a tall stand, a library type table,a standing lamp and shade, and a bird cage and stand. The lamp and birdcage are about 6 1/2"tall.The seats of the sofa and the rocker are about 1 1/2" off the floor. The seat of the armchair is 1 7/8" off the floor.The tabletop is 3" off the floor and the tall stand top is 3 1/2" off the floor. The furniture is a great skipper blue(there is a small amount of paint flaking) and the bird cage a bright orange. The period fabrics coordinate nicely and are original to the furniture. The standing lamp appears to be wired for electricity. The set dates ca.1930's and the wicker and most of the paint is in excellent condition.
