A beautiful Sajou Faux Tortoiseshell thread card winder that matches the Sajou Faux Tortoiseshell scissors and thimbles that I have available. The thread card is a perfect collectors item, but is also suitable for sewing small items.
This thread card is a replica of the thread cards found in sewing boxes of the Charles X era (1820- 1830).
The thread cards are presented in a pretty Sajou sachet and measure : 5.8cm x 5.8cm and are 2 mm thick
This is part of a range of Sajou Haberdashery made with imitation luxury materials in the style of the fine decorative arts of bygone days. They are made with cellulose acetate, a natural plastic material made from cotton flower and wood pulp.
Sajou produce haberdashery items made in France to the highest standards (in some cases even produced on the original old machinery). Perfect for gifts and collectors, and for those of you unable to resist a quality that is seldom found in today's mass produced haberdashery products.
Sajou was created in 1828 by Jaques- Simon Sajou, selling haberdashery for embroidery, tapestry, lace, crochet and weaving. His pattern albums are sought after to this day by collectors worldwide. In 2005 the Sajou brand was purchased and revived by avid collector; Frederique Crestin- Billet. Many of the old designs have been faithfully reproduced and there are some new designs that have been added in the Sajou style.
