A Lovely Antique Victorian Mother-of-Pearl Needle Case. The lid opens on a metal hinge to reveal a base section fitted with a series of slim internal dividers, creating multiple narrow compartments. A small round knop to the front acts as the opening grip or catch. It makes a refined display piece for a dressing table or collector’s cabinet, with clear decorative appeal even when not in use – circa 1880.
