Art Deco Velvet & Lace Pin Cushion - Hand Made with Ribbon Florals

Dating anywhere from C.1890 to C.1930 may I offer this stunning pin cushion in tones of green and browned lace. The highlight of this piece is the French Ribbonwork at the top - a Dahlia with lots and lots of leaves. The pin cushion is lightly stuffed, not firm, so it is flexible when you pick it up. Condition: Well, it's clean and there is no musty/dusty smell. No smoke either. To look at, the piece is a delight of times past. But the ribbon has frayed in places, there is one tear in the lace at the front, middle bottom, I did add a few stitches here and there to tack down some sections that were lifting. Overall light browning (from age) to the lace and if you want to get picky, the velvet has faded to a perfect patina. And no, there is no shedding to the velvet that I can tell. Size: 11-1/2" long x 4" wide. Depth is about 2-3/4". Final Comments: Even if you don't use as it was intended, it's a fabulous bit of velvet to look upon! (ry)
