Charming 19th Century Decorative Papier Mâché Sewing Cabinet and Contents

19th century

Sold by Quiet Street Antiques of Bath

Description

A charming and decorative Papier Mâché Sewing Cabinet, with two decorated front doors and six internal drawers containing a large and varied collection of sewing paraphernalia. There are hand-painted and mosaic shell-decorated panels to the front doors, top and both sides. Furthermore, the splayed base is decorated with mosaic shell chips and gold paint.

The lid is hand-painted with a ramparted house and adjacent boathouse on either a shoreline or riverbank. There are tiny pieces of MOP (mother-of-pearl) missing, but paintwork and most of the mosaic work is generally good.

Sustainable Choice

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
