A refined group of four Victorian bone-handled tools, originally used for sewing, lacework and fine desk or bookbinding tasks.
The set includes a forged steel desk spatula or erasing knife, a fine crochet or tambour hook, a tapered sewing stiletto and a larger curved hook used for crochet or glove fastening.
Each piece is hand-finished, combining polished bone handles with traditional forged steel fittings typical of mid-19th-century workboxes.
These tools display the characteristic shaping, patina and honest wear associated with Victorian sewing and craft implements.
A tactile and well-balanced quartet, ideal for collectors of antique sewing tools, writing-desk accessories or period craft equipment, and an attractive display set in their own right.
