An exceptional, fine and impressive antique Edwardian pin cushion modelled in the form of a rabbit; an addition to our animal related silverware collection

This exceptional, fine and impressive antique Edwardian cast sterling silver pin cushion has been realistically modelled in the form of a rabbit couchant.

The hallmarked sterling silver body of this antique silver pin cushion is embellished with decoration reproducing the details of the bunny rabbit's anatomical features.

The head of the rabbit is further ornamented with gem set eyes; this feature indicates the high quality of the piece.

The rabbit's back is fitted with an oval cushion, lined with replacement green velvet.

This antique silver rabbit pin cushion is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

Full hallmarks struck to the underside of the body are all very clear.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of Edwardian silverware.
