Brand: Unbranded
Price: 35.0 GBP
Availability: OutOfStock

A small antique strawberry pincushion made from deep red velvet and decorated with tiny gilt metal beads to represent the seeds. The strawberry has a softly segmented form, giving it a plump and naturalistic appearance.

It is finished with faded blue-green textile leaves and a small cream crocheted flower at the top. The combination of velvet, metallic beadwork and hand-worked textile details gives this diminutive pincushion plenty of character.

A charming addition to a collection of strawberry emeries, pincushions, antique haberdashery or early sewing accessories.
