Antique Silver Needlework/Sewing Set French * C1890 This lovely French silver set has 2 pairs of scissors, thimble, needlecase, stiletto, bodkin and crochet hook. The tools are all embossed with paneled laurel leaf motifs. All of the pieces have the French boar's head hallmarks used in Paris on 800 silver beginning in 1838. The condition of all the tools is excellent. Both pairs of scissors have tight blades, sharp points and cut beautifully to the tips. Aside from one needle hole in the side, the thimble is in nice condition, in round with no dents, repairs or other damage. The other tools have no dents or damage. The case has the original fitted velvet and satin interior and is in good condition inside and out. The tools are all matching and belong together, but I'm not sure they are original to this case. The case closes well with a flip down clasp and measures 6 3/4" by 5".

I stand behind everything that I offer and guarantee that it is exactly as presented.
