Framed Victorian Period Star-Shaped Sweetheart Pincushion with Seashells

Here on offer is a fine example of a Victorian period Star-shaped sweetheart pincushion that’s been fitted into a glass front and side panelled wooden display case, with a display of seashells.

This very large velvet covered pincushion has been set in the centre with a flower design made of coloured glass beads and small pearls.

Around the outer edges is a mass of clear and coloured glass beads.

This truly impressive pincushion was probably made by injured and recovering soldiers from wars during Queen Victoria’s reign.

They where mostly sent home to a sweetheart or family member.

This example is in excellent condition and the case itself is beautiful with the side glass panels and the lovely arrangement of seashells set into the base of the case

I can’t actually tell how old the lovely wooden display case is, but looks to be a Victorian period piece.

This is just a beautiful example of one of these pincushions, in really excellent condition that will make a great addition to any antique collection.

The large star pincushion measures approximately 8.5” (21.6cm) by 8.5” (21.6cm) and the case is 10.75” (27.4cm) by 10” (25.4cm) and 4.75” (12cm) deep.

It weighs a very heavy 2Kg.
