This listing is for an antique sewing basket recently purchased from a local estate sale.  It is made of braided raffia in a bamboo frame and has a hinged brass handle on the top and a clasp for a lock on the front. The inside and the lid is lined with purple cotton. The lid is tufted so it can be used as a pincushion and there is a band across the center for holding tools. It still has a few of the original tools: a crochet hook, a screw driver and a wooden needle case.

It measures 7 1/2" X 8" X 5".

Condition: There is a lot of wear on the fabric. See close up photos.
