Antique French c.1820 Palais Royal Sewing Tool, Folding Mother of Pearl Hem or Measuring Ruler Leather Folio particularly at very low pricesI recently bought a partially filled but beautiful c. 1820 French Palais Royal sewing box, intending to sell off its parts separately. Here you have the very rare mother of pearl hemming or measuring tape, hinged to fold into its fitting. In fact, I bought the box with its spare parts to acquire this one item for a special customer who's been waiting for me to find one for her. Measurements are noted on the photos. Very good to excellent for age and
