A characterful set of four Victorian craft and sewing tools, each hand-worked in bone and steel and typical of the mixed implements found in 19th-century workboxes and writing desks.
The group includes a fine steel stiletto with a polished bone handle, a forged desk spatula used for paper scoring or erasing, a turned bone tool for delicate handwork, and a slender bone crochet hook.
These pieces demonstrate traditional Victorian craftsmanship, from tapered forged steel to turned bone detailing, with tactile surfaces and age-worn patina. T
ogether they make an appealing curated set for collectors of antique sewing tools, lace-making accessories or Victorian desk equipment. The longest measures 12.5cm.
