Full cabbage roses and curling silver scrolls cover this slender vintage needle case. Darkened recesses bring depth to the raised decoration, tracing the petals and flourishes along its softly rounded form.
A small sewing treasure with the presence of a decorative pendant, the case opens beneath its floral cap to hold needles. Its suspension loop offers another way to enjoy the design, worn on a favorite chain. Marked JL and Sterling, it retains its securely fitting removable lid. The maker and exact date are unknown.
