Description

A tiny antique emery with original cushion. It is crisply carved with ornamental turning and measures just 1″ high. The cushion is very fine rose coloured silk which has lost half of its pile. Emerys were filled with fine emery grains which cleaned needles when inserted. This was possibly one of the contents of a lady’s sewing box or etui.
