<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lizjewel, post: 2059448, member: 13874&quot;]To those who claim that it couldn&#039;t be a sewing table, allow my explanation for why I believe so: The shelf below the drawer has a rounded shape in front, not in the back. This is traditionally made so someone could sit in front of it a little closer than if said shelf was straight there as in the back. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ergo, the table was meant to be sat in front of. The table is small and not used for huge sewing projects. Those were executed in professional seamstress locales back in them days. </p><p><br /></p><p>This table was meant for a lady who either gently embroidered little pillow or chair covers, handkerchiefs, doilies, maybe <i>tatted</i> [made lace] on a cushion used specifically for this purpose and placed on top of the little table. Notions uch as needles, threads, pins, and tatting spools were stored in the drawer, the work itself too if it fit when not being worked on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
