A set of six early mother of pearl capped reels from a Georgian sewing box. c 1830
The main part is a reel of bone which would have been returned to a shop to be filled when the thread was all gone. The decorative turned pearl discs screw into both ends for display.
In excellent condition - no damage to the pearl but there is very minor chipping to the edge of some of the bone reels which can be seen in the photos.
