Shaker Lined Oval Sewing Carrier
A reproduction of an original lined swing-handle sewing carrier made by Sister Lillian Barlow (1876-1942) at the Mt. Lebanon, New York Shaker community. Made from select Pennsylvania cherry, secured with solid copper tacks. Lustrous hand-rubbed oil finish. It is lined, like the original, in a floral, soft blue, satin fabric. Fitted with a "tomato" pincushion, a needlebook with flannel "leaves", and a small beeswax.
