Antique Early 19th Century Bird Sewing Clamp with Pin Cushion
A rare and decorative sewing clamp dating from the early 19th century, this beautifully crafted piece is made from white metal and features an intricately embossed bird perched on top. The bird retains its original purple velvet pin cushion, adding both charm and authenticity.
The clamp below is detailed with fine scrollwork and floral embossing, typical of Georgian and early Victorian metalwork. Once clamped to a tabletop, it would have held fabric steady for hand stitching, offering both practical function and ornamental appeal.
