EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph showcases a Jones Sewing Machine, proudly bearing the designation of 'By Royal Appointment' to both the former Queen Alexandra and the current Queen Mary. Dated back to the 1910s, this wooden sewing machine is encased in a carry handle case, making it an ideal companion for the royal family during their travels. The machine's manual operation, as evidenced by the absence of electric cords, adds to its timeless appeal. The Jones Sewing Machine, with its intricate details and elegant design, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. The machine's handle, positioned at the front, suggests that it was designed for ease of use and portability. The spools of white thread, neatly arranged on the machine, are ready for stitching, and the wooden case adds a sense of warmth and familiarity. The Royal Appointment seal of approval adds an air of prestige and exclusivity to this sewing machine. Queen Alexandra, the consort of King Edward VII, reigned from 1901 to 1925, while Queen Mary, the consort of King George V, ruled from 1910 to 1952. The fact that this machine was used by two successive monarchs speaks to its high quality and reliability. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a piece of British royal history and the role of sewing machines in everyday life during the early 20th century. The image is reminiscent of a postcard, and its timeless beauty makes it a treasured addition to any collection of historical photographs or memorabilia.
