This vintage wooden sewing box blends practical charm with historical provenance. Crafted from solid wood and featuring a classic accordion-style expansion mechanism, it includes a central handle and stands gracefully on turned wood legs. The interior comprises three tiers of storage, with compartments approximately 1.25" and 1.5" high—ideal for organizing notions, tools, or craft supplies.

Its standout feature is the original paper label underneath, reading:
“Galeries et GD Bazar du Bd Anspach 12B 185”, referencing the renowned Galeries et Grand Bazar department store in Brussels. Established in the late 19th century and operating through much of the 20th, this historic retail institution was known for high-quality goods and grand architecture. Items bearing this label are increasingly collectible and tied to Belgian commercial history.

The design includes flathead screws throughout, with one later Phillips head replacement, and articulated swing arms that open smoothly. The piece retains an elegant, functional presence ideal for collectors or vintage decor lovers.

Condition

In good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. The wood finish is even and attractive overall, with light surface scuffs and one replaced screw. Hinges and expanding arms operate well, and structure is stable.
