This medieval needle case recreates a practical accessory carried by tailors, embroiderers, and travelers throughout Europe during the Middle Ages. Handcrafted from polished natural bone, it has a smooth exterior that feels cool and solid in the hand, reflecting centuries of tradition in which materials were chosen for their durability as well as their beauty.

The highlight of this piece is its distinctive screw-on cap, crafted from richly grained hardwood with decorative rings. This hermetic seal keeps the needles inside, preventing them from slipping, even in a case or belt pouch.

Historical Significance: Bone and horn containers were prized for their durability and availability. Craftspeople treasured these holders to keep their valuable sewing tools safe from rust, damage, or loss. Owning a needle case was often a sign of craftsmanship and tool care.

Today, this stand serves the same purpose: protecting your sewing tools and adding an authentic medieval touch to your workbench or display case.

• Storing sewing needles and pins
• Carry it in a sewing basket, bag, or on your belt for easy access.
• Highlights historical craft demonstrations and workshops
