Opulent Stitches: A French Gold Sewing Set from the Victorian Era

This exquisite 19th Century French Sewing Nécessaire, hailing from the Grand Victorian Period, is a paragon of opulence and craftsmanship. Encased in an original, custom-made ivory box, it epitomises the luxurious aesthetic of the era. Crafted in 18K yellow gold, the set reflects the Victorian era's penchant for extravagant designs, inspired by global influences.

This piece is not just a functional artefact but a window into the lavish Victorian lifestyle.
