Measuring 50cm x 32cm, this rare Faudel's Leek Embroidery Silk Box holds four trays of colourful threads and sewing items, all neatly packed within. A beautiful piece of textile history, it’s both practical and collectible — waiting in The Shop for its next creative custodian. Leek embroidery silks were produced in Leek, Staffordshire, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries and were prized for their rich colours and fine quality. They became especially popular with embroiderers of the Arts and Crafts movement, who valued craftsmanship and natural dyes.
