I put the French explanation into my Bing Translator and came up with :- " Old scissors needle holder lacemaker. Not found and unusual." Make of that what you will!!!!!!
That translation seems to imply it was a scissor type of needle holder. The points of the needles seem to pushed in to a piece on the scissors, and to get one out - one opens the scissors, and removes a needle. Very odd!!!
