Old Needlework Boxes and Tools

Old Needlework Boxes and Tools by Mary Andere

The needlework boxes and tables of the 19th century and earlier are today much admired and sought by collectors, as are the sewing tools they held - old thimbles, pins and needles, scissors, measures, thread winders, buttons and countless other accessories. This book describes and illustrates many examples to help with their identification, collection, care and repair.
