Antique Sterling Silver repurposed into a pincushion.
Hallmarked:
Henry Williamson Ltd, Birmingham, Sterling, 1913
Which makes it 109 years old.
Cartouche is not engraved.
Please see picture for details.
Pins and needles can be easily pushed into the velvet cushion, which is firmly stuffed with 100% wool.
Wool roving is ideal for pincushions. It has a natural lanolin that is kind to our pins and needles.
Measurements approx.:
1.75" wide (4,5cm)
1.75" high (4,5cm)
2.5oz (70g; total incl. the pincushion and carved stone inset)
Such a special gift for every seamstress.
Please note:
Overall it is in great condition but shows some normal wear for it's age.
The pins shown in the pictures are not included and are for size reference only.
However, as a courtesy retailer I always include a few sample pins with each Pincushion.
