This is a very unusual mid 1800s  rosewood  castle turret shaped sewing companion.

It consists of a central removeable turret pin cushion which unscrews to reveal a pin cushion There are four removable reel holders, these are stored on rosewood pins each of which has a turned finial, one has been repaired.

There is also an upturned rosewood acorn shaped holder for a thimble. The thimble appears to be the original although it has been repaired, I do have another thimble which is perfect which could be fitted instead.

In addition there is a small turret shaped pin cushion with a removeable lid which is fixed in position.

This wonderfully made sewing companion sits on a circular base which has three turned feet.  

It measures 8cms w x 11cms h

    ANTIQUE TREEN

    ​The word Treen is derived from the word tree and is a term used to describe wooden household objects, all turned from one piece of wood e.g. a bowl, plate, gingerbread mould, and spoons, always having a function.

    Nowadays when we talk about Antique Treen it tends to cover all small wooden items including antique snuff boxes, candle stands, spice towers, etc. often made from several pieces of turned wood.

     

    When a piece of wood has been painstakingly turned or carved, handled, polished and loved over a few hundred years old, it can develop a wonderful colour and patina and becomes an irresistible piece of Antique Treen.
