A charming little French fabric-covered box, originally made for storing gloves and other small items from the dressing table. They are getting increasingly hard to find these days.
Approximately A5 in size, it is covered in a beautifully faded floral fabric in soft cream, blue, brown and ochre, the inside still has its original vibrants colours.
It has that lovely slightly faded, time-worn quality that makes vintage haberdashery and dressing-room pieces so appealing. It would be perfect for storing ribbons, lace, buttons and other small treasures, or simply as a decorative piece for a sewing room or dressing table.
A lovely little piece of French vintage storage, ready to be useful again.
As with all vintage pieces, it shows signs of its previous life, including some fading and marks, which I think add considerably to its charm.
