Antique Mother of Pearl Needle Book English * Circa 1860 This lovely little antique needle book has front and back covers carved of mother of pearl. Both sides have nicely engraved designs of two birds drinking from a chalice. It ties together with silk ribbons and inside are two finely woven wool needle pages.
The silk has a little fraying but the condition of the mother of pearl is excellent with no cracks or other damage. It measures 1 7/8" by almost 1 1/2" clos...ed (not counting the ribbons) and the pearl is very luminous.
