Dimensions: height 24 cm, width 40 cm, depth 21 cm.

Its design is compact yet cleverly constructed: easy to carry thanks to the top handle, with two small tambour (roll-top) doors at the front, each closing off its own compartment.

Behind the tambour doors, you’ll find a small drawer and an open storage space on each side—ideal for neatly organising sewing supplies such as thread, pins, a measuring tape, buttons, or darning materials. The thoughtful layout keeps everything visible and easy to reach, and makes it simple to move the box from cupboard to table, or from room to room.

The wood has a warm, timeworn look with visible signs of use and small imperfections that suit its age and personality. Those traces of time give the piece its history and make it an authentic interior accent. Today it still works perfectly as a sewing box, but it’s just as useful for storing small hobby items, letters and cards, keys, or other everyday essentials you like to keep beautifully gathered in one place.
