Antique Victorian Silver Pin Cushion - Jockey Cap

This is a novelty late 19th Century Victorian antique solid sterling silver pin cushion, dating from the end of the reign of Queen Victoria. This one is modelled as a jockey's cap, with three distinct coloured sections of cushion separated by silver 'ribbons'. It is hallmarked for Birmingham 1895, with the maker's mark for Cornelius Desormeaux Saunders & James Francis Hollings (Frank) Shepherd. The original cushions, possibly cork, have faded and are flaking away in places. Nonetheless, a relatively rare collector's item. Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.
