Description |
Fan shaped Victorian pincushion. Green, black, red & gold fabrics. Has pocket on one side and felt for needles on the other. During the Victorian era there was a great deal of emphasis on the parlor room and it became the perfect place in which to display the novelty pincushions of the era. Pincushions were made in the shape of shoes, fans, dolls, teacups, umbrellas, fruits, and vegetables. They were hung on the walls or placed on occasional tables. |
