169 - Sewing coffer

This is a very attractive coffer of large size, originally conceived to be used as a sewing coffer. It is beautifully ornamented with dynamic patterns and floral motifs.The pattern is based in an old Italian design from the end of the 19th century that I have entirely reconstructed in the computer using the most advanced graphic techniques.

This sewing coffer has been designed to use 1/4 and 1/8 inches wood or 6 and 3 mm wood. The 1/8 inches or 3 mm wood is used only for the framing of the sides, thus it can be substituted by wood of different but similar thickness very easily. By scaling the pattern appropriately any other wood thickness can also be used. These are the dimensions of the coffer depending on the wood thickness you use:

Height Width Depth
1/4 inches wood 6 in. 21.8 in. 12 in.
6 mm wood 14.4 cm 52.3 cm 28.8 cm
8 mm wood 19.2 cm 70 cm 38.4 cm

Please note that this pattern is registered and copyrighted. If you would like to have it I offer it for 12 € plus shipping. The pattern is computer made, which provides total precision, and nicely printed for convenient scrolling. Please write me to [email protected] to buy this pattern or for any questions.
