A really fabulous Victorian Lignum Vitae pin cushion, carved in the form of a basket.
The carving is exceptional quality, and the piece nice and heavy made from this dense hardwood. Has fastenings on side for chain.
The top sports it's original cushion, a bit worn but all original and really looks good with the warm nutty wooden base.
Has a chip on side, see closeup pictures for more detail.
A beautiful and tactile sewing accessory in excellent condition standing 6cm tall and 8cm wide handle to handle.
