This Medieval Needle Holder recreates a practical accessory carried by tailors, embroiderers, and travelers across Europe through the Middle Ages. Handmade from natural polished bone, it has a smooth exterior that feels cool and solid in the hand—reflecting centuries of tradition when materials were chosen for their durability as well as their beauty.
The highlight of this piece is its distinctive screw-top lid—turned from richly grained hardwood with decorative rings. This snug closure keeps your needles securely inside, preventing them from slipping free even in a packed kit or belt pouch.
Historical Significance: Bone and horn containers were favored for their strength and availability. Craftspeople treasured these holders for keeping their valuable sewing implements safe from rust, damage or loss. Owning a dedicated needle case was often a mark of skilled artisanship and care for one’s tools.
Today, this holder serves the same purpose: protecting your sewing supplies while adding an authentic medieval touch to your workbench or display.
