FLORAL IRIS Wood BOXED 5 Piece Set Etui SOLID Silver Sewing Kit Case Art Nouveau

Description

I am selling an assortment of vintage to antique items which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world.  Some examples seen in the last photo.
ABOUT:
Beautiful antique Victorian sewing kit in antique wooden box with inlaid floral cover.  This is a married set - the scissors and needle case match with a beautiful Art Nouveau floral Iris motif.  The thimble is also floral but with a floral garland pattern and is faintly gold washed so it is warmer in color than the silver pieces but still lovely.  These three pieces are solid silver and hallmarked for solid silver with maker.  There is also an awl which appears to be silver plated as it has some discoloration and tarnish and is not hallmarked.  There is also a needle in the slot but I do not believe it is antique or silver.
The pieces fit well into the beautiful velvet and silk lined antique wooden box with inlay floral cover and antique brass hinges.  I do not know if any of the pieces are original to the box, or if the pieces were added to the box but they all seem to fit fairly well and it has a push button that closes securely.
Box, thimble, scissors and needle case are Antique Victorian to Art Nouveau pieces from the French Belle Epoque period.
Lovely collectible items for use or display!
I believe the maker of the Iris pieces is Charles Eugene Gouy, marks in use 6/1884 to 12/1921, 59 bis avenue de la Seine à Boulogne, Boulogne-Billancourt.
MEASUREMENTS:
Box is 5" by 2 1/2".  Scissors are 3 1/2 inches, punch tool is about 3 inches, and the little needle case is 2 1/2".  Thimble is 1 inch.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned with some age to them so they are in estate condition.  Married set as seen in photos.  Scissors and needle case seem hardly used.  Some discoloration to the awl punch tool. I don't see any deep scratches, no dings or dents.  The scissors are still sharp and still function to cut thread.  A few spots to the box and discoloration from age.  The latch is a bit loose but it does snap and stay shut. A really beautiful set.
But as with all my estate pieces - Please note that due to age, this set is not in mint condition.
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my store.  Thanks for stopping by!
