Tiny Antique Walnut Pin Cushion

English * Circa 1820

This little antique pincushion has been created using a walnut as the base. It's the smallest walnut I've ever seen though. It has a tightly packed cotton cushion that is stuck with tiny hand made, coil-headed pins. Those and just the look of this piece are what I'm basing the age on.

The condition is excellent with no chips, cracks or loss to the little walnut shell. The cushion is original and intact. It measures 1" long x 7/8" wide and 7/8" high.
