Lovely Antique Hand-Embroidered Velvet Emery/Pin Cushion imp Some wear and a little

Some wear and a little tearing to the dust jacket but book itself is in very good

This beautiful pair of deconstructed antique Afgani hand-embroidered sleeves would be truly stunning mounted

Roughness along the right edge and a little graphite smudging her and there

and the there are eye holes and two holes at the sides by which one could thread ribbon in order to wear it

I must say the "window" at center and the dramatic framing of it also makes me think a puppet show should be enacted behind it

Lovely Antique Hand-Embroidered Velvet Emery/Pin Cushion imp Some wear and a littleThis sweet hand embroidered antique pin cushion is filled with emery powder meant for sharpening needles as well as holding pins. I like the improvisatory feel of the embroidery on it, as if done not according to any plan, but just whatever emerged. Excellent star like red flowers and a couple of yellow leaves that look like hearts. Constructed of a sort of dark brown green velvet. c. later 19th c. 4 1 2" l (center of short side to point) x 3" w x 7
