Victorian Sterling Silver Needle Case

Description : Traditionally a needle case was an important addition to a chatelaine. A chatelaine is the French word for 'female castle keeper'. Several items were hung from chain on a belt that was worn daily and carried several items that were considered indispensable for everyday life. A needle case was always necessary for emergency fabric or leather repairs. This original sterling silver decorative case is in its original form, but has been transformed with a natural white diamond accented bail to be worn as a long pendant. The top fits beautifully and this essential item is in very good condition. Who doesn't need a needle and thread now and again for repairs? A lovely artistic form that is functional and beautifully made. This piece would make a lovely gift for that seamstress in your life.
