1920 - 1940
For Sale by Poirot Deco Lite
Description

Art Deco Sewing Set by Nogent.

Nogent is a region in France and also the name of the renowned company famous for complex, high-end luxury pieces, especially those items requiring knife making skills.

In 1923, the founder, Mr Louis André earned the prestigious title of ‘Best Craftsman of France’ for his skills as an artist, designer and entrepreneur. The brand also holds the highly coveted

EPV label - Enterprise du Patrimonies Vivant, a mark of recognition from the French government for outstanding traditional & industrial craftsmanship.

This sewing kit retailed by Harrods is exceptionally elegant in the Art Deco style. The kit is housed in its original silk- and velvet-lined presentation case bearing the iconic

Vintage Harrods London mark. The striking geometric, angular, and faceted handles are characteristic of the Art Deco period.

The complete set comprises of the seven original pieces.

Dressmaking Shears: Heavy-duty fabric scissors with matching geometric grips - still sharp today!

Small Embroidery Scissors: Designed for precise thread-snips, featuring matching faceted finger loops - still sharp today!

Cylindrical Needle Case: A protective storage sleeve for housing loose hand-sewing needles.

Metal Thimble

Stitching Awl / Punch: A sharp, tapered needle tool used to pierce guide holes in heavy fabrics or leather.

Bodkin / Threader: A long, blunt needle with a flat eyelet used to thread ribbons, elastics, or heavy cording through casings.

The items appear to be unused, so in excellent condition for its age.

This Art Deco sewing set by Nogent originates from 1930 and is retailed by Harrods. The collection comprises seven metal sewing implements housed in an original presentation case covered in teal-coloured material. The interior features a cream silk lining with the vintage Harrods London mark printed on the lid and a teal velvet bed fitted with indents for each tool. The complete set includes dressmaking shears, small embroidery scissors, a cylindrical needle case, a metal thimble, a stitching awl, a bodkin, and another matching slender tool, all displaying faceted, geometric handles. The presentation case measures 2.5 cm high, 19.5 cm wide, and 12 cm deep. This portable sewing kit suits display on a dressing table, desk, or inside a display cabinet within a bedroom or living space. Collectors of vintage sewing implements or Art Deco accessories can place the presentation case open or closed on a shelf or tabletop to showcase the metal tools and branded silk lining.

FAQs

Art Deco sewing kits, produced primarily during the 1920s and 1930s, combine functional needlework utility with streamlined geometric design. Typically housed in compact, fitted cases lined with silk or velvet, these sets feature tools adorned with octagonal handles and clean angular forms characteristic of the period.

These sets frequently utilised nickel-plated or stainless steel for scissors and bodkins, silver or brass for thimbles, and silk- or velvet-lined leather cases. High-end examples often incorporated bone, horn, or early plastics alongside fine leather exteriors.

Authentic pieces display crisp geometric silhouettes, maker stamps, or retailer markings on both the case interior lining and individual metal tools. Look for period-appropriate wear on the fitted velvet or silk lining and age-consistent oxidisation on steel components.

An open vintage sewing kit functions well as a decorative accent on a bookshelf, desk, or sideboard top. Displaying the item open highlights the contrast between the plush fabric lining and the polished steel implements, adding historical texture to modern vignette styling.

Keep the set in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight to prevent the lining fabric from fading and the leather from drying out. Clean metal tools using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that could damage surrounding velvet or leather.
