Rare Figural Mauchline Needle Case - Shoe

Antiques : Mauchline : Figural Needle Case

 

This has got to be the most desirable needle case ever! Worthy of the finest Scottish Mauchline Ware, antique sewing or shoe collections!!

So unusual and in such fine condition, I felt this shoe-shaped needle case was a must when on my most recent buying trip to England.

The black transfer picture which adorns the front of this Victorian (ca. 1860) souvenir piece is of "Head of Windermere From Elleray"; Windermere being the most famous lake in the British Lake District.

The interior reveals the original fuchsia pink silk with an integral pocket each side. There is slight ware to the silk around the heal area, the hinged areas are firmly intact.

Superb condition and one for the most discerning of collectors. Measures 5 1/2" x 2 3/4" high (when closed).
