  • Object Type
    Work boxes, containers for sewing and embroidery tools and materials, often had many small compartments, which helped to keep the contents tidy. This box also has a drawer at the front, which opens by pulling a hidden catch. This is an expensive example, with its leather cover and silk lining. Many work boxes were simpler, comprising plain veneered wood.

    Ownership & Use
    This work box has many of its original fittings such as two fixed pin cushions covered with printed silk, and several lidded compartments. It also has a collection of small tools and souvenirs, such as a pin cushion in inlaid wood with cushions at each end, which bears a paper label that reads 'A trifle from BRIGHTON'. There is also an ivory tape measure with its original silk tape, and a tiny circular needle case covered in green silk.

    People
    We do not know who originally owned this work box. There is a brass plaque on the outside of the lid, but it has not been engraved with initials. The box was given to the V&A by Queen Mary, consort of George V (ruled 1910-1936). She collected antiques, and often bought items specifically to give to the V&A.     (en)
