A mid-20th-century wooden sewing needle case with an integrated thermometer, this piece reflects both the utility and artisanship of the era. The warmth of the wood is accentuated by the time-worn velvet that lines the needle holder, bearing the graceful signs of age and use. When closed, it stands at a modest 15 cm, growing to 18 cm upon opening, and it has a square base with 6 cm sides, offering a compact yet functional size. Its vintage charm is matched by the practicality it once offered to a seamstress or tailor of the past.”
This description takes into account the practicality of the object while also hinting at its historical context and potential appeal to collectors or those with an interest in sewing or temperature-measuring instruments from the period. When marketing such an item, one could highlight the patina of the wood and the story that the wear on the velvet suggests, speaking to the item’s authenticity and history.
