The sinuous lines of Art Nouveau
This tiny silver gilt needle case (or étui) is in the Art Nouveau style. It was hallmarked in France and dates from the late 19th century. It's very narrow and delicate, and even with the top on measures just 1¾" long. The wooden cotton reel is from the 1930s and the little fabric flowers are also vintage, possibly going as far back as the 1920s.
