This is a superb Antique Pin Cushion in the form of a Pig which is inscribed with Suvretta House St. Moritz to the side, which is a prestigious Swiss Hotel.

The cornerstone of the hotel was laid on 22 April 1911 and within roughly one and a half years a grand hotel with a view of Champfèr and Lake Silvaplana was erected on the Chasellas plateau, not far from St. Moritz. The hotel was festively inaugurated on 16 December 1912.

The pin cushion is in good condition but does exhibit some age-related wear as you would expect from handling and use. It bears the Silver Hallmarks for the well-known Silversmith, Mappin & Webb Ltd, the Assay Office for Birmingham and date letter for 1913.

Please take a look at the photos to evaluate the condition for yourself as they form part of the description and if you wish to ask us anything about the item then please do not hesitate to contact us.
