51097-Antique French Hand-Stitched Large Circular Hard Leather Lace Case

51097-Antique French Hand-Stitched Large Circular Hard Leather Lace Case This antique circular case from France is a rare example of early 20th-century luxury storage, designed specifically for the protection of delicate textiles. Crafted from 2.4 mm thick hard leather with a robust telescopic nesting structure, it features an expansive 17.5 cm internal diameter and a slender 1.8 cm depth. This specific flat, crush-resistant profile was ideally suited for housing exquisite lace collars, handkerchiefs, or antique doilies, ensuring that the intricate threads remained unpressed and snag-free during travel or storage. The interior base features two prominent symmetrical circular indentations, historical imprints left by lace bobbins or spools over decades of use, testifying to the meticulous care given to haberdashery in the past. In a modern context, this case remains highly functional for storing delicate personal items that are prone to losing their shape, such as silk bow ties, embroidered textiles, or precious medals and flat jewelry that require a stable environment. The telescopic design was a premium choice of its time, providing superior structural integrity. The deep brown leather has developed a natural patina over decades, whispering stories of the past and exuding a refined, old-world French elegance. https://youtube.com/shorts/Q6ofW7v1u7Q?si=jsWiT4ChXbK1TMZD *Content：Leather Case x1 (Lace and spools shown in photos are for display only and not included)。 *Size：External diameter 19 cm (Internal 17.5 cm); Thickness 2.8 cm; Internal depth 1.8 cm。 *Weight：254 g。 *Material：Hard Leather, Metal。 *Origin：France。 *Year：Early 20th Century。 *Hallmarks / Markings：None。 Reference code : W260310-2303。 ⚠️ Condition：An authentic leather piece with a rich patina and natural character marks from a century of history.
