Featured Regency sewing box.

I bought this one right before everything was locked down so probably no more for some time ........

There was a length of Pewter String missing so I replaced that....
The water marked silk is remnants from an antique skirt, probably Victorian but maybe earlier and the closest I had to the original, I had the paint mixed from the inside of the needle book and it's 99.01% accurate.
I replaced the missing veneer, not a great match but I'll try to find a better piece when all this is over.
I'll have withdrawal symptoms now

 

Great job, is it rosewood?

 

Thank you.....
Yes it is Rosewood

 

Wow, wow, WOWWW!
A labor of love
It is superb

 

Beautiful!

You have a lot of talent......and patience is a must for what you do!

 

Thank you so much

 

Thank you
It was a lot of trial and error over a lot of years, I still make the odd mistake when it's something I haven't done before....
Yes definitely need that, lots of it

 

Nice Job!!
The last one of these I did I was lucky to find some old Chinese tissue paper of pretty much the same pinkish red tone as the original so patched/recovered the interior where it needed it in paper.

 

Wow, Poison, every one you show is even better than the one before. Thank you for showing us.

 

Thank you, it's nice to share them with you all

 

Oh that was lucky, it's difficult finding the right stuff for Regency boxes.

 

Had the box for ages, then an old shop in Chinatown closed down and my friend bought all their (old) wrapping paper for her store and I asked her for a sheet or two, thinking colour was close ...and it was perfect, texture and colour. VERY LUCKY INDEED!!

 

Beautiful! You're giving Kyra a run for her money....

 

wow, you did a fantastic job Ivy, such a beautiful piece now you have worked your magic I love seeing your pieces, they are things I never run across here

Hehe!!!

Thank you

 

Thanks Joy, I'm itching to find another but I'll have to wait

 

Good one komo

Thank you

 

Impressive work! Was that crinkly pink textile what they used to call crape?.. as in black mourning crape? The texture looks similar, but I have never seen it in any other color.
