Antique Tansu Sewing Box

Antique Sewing Tansu

Every now and then something super special comes into the store. When this small tansu came in, I didn't know what it was as we were very busy so I put it aside to check out later. During intake of donations it gets a little crazy. Tansu cabinets normally have some type of damage because the wood is very light. When I finally had the time to check it out I was so surprised when I lifted the lid and the pin cushion popped up. It was a debate how we would display it as it can't handle customers "playing" with it and it's too tall to fit into our locked cabinets. So now it just sits waiting for space to open up some place safe.
