Lemongrass-colored sewing kit. The sewing box, with a hinged lid and a drawer, is situated on cabriole legs joined with an X-shaped chambray. Inside, it has three compartments and a mirror. The fronts are decorated with stylised plant shapes, inspired by the decorations of classic European furniture. The legs follow characteristic Rococo patterns; lemongrass wood was often used for inlay work, whereas in this example its colour is used throughout the surface except for the darker decoration, a colour combination reminiscent of examples such as Boulle-style marquetry. The layout of the spaces inside makes this piece of furniture perfect for interior decoration.
