UNUSUAL, 140+ YEAR OLD PILLOW

RECENTLY APPRAISED AT ANTIQUE ROADSHOW IN SANTA FE!!!

At an estate sale, we were told this frilly, decorative pillow was a ring pillow or a boudoir pillow. We took it to Antiques Roadshow on 6/14/22 and they believe it to be a large decorative pin cushion dating from the 1880's. It is a very firm pillow.   It was appraised for $250.00 - 300.00  Either way, it's a one-of-a-kind piece that displays wonderfully!


It measures about 14" x 14' with it's fringe and the pillow alone is about 9" x 9". 

Overall condition is good considering it's age.  However, there are worn areas & frayed edges of the material, a small amount of white something (paint?) on the lacy parts, and some light smudges/stains mainly on the back of the pillow. 
We have not attempted any cleaning/repairing. ~ we'll leave that to the buyer although it displays well as is....would be a fantastic addition to your Victorian collection!!
