Rare Antiques For Sale: Unusual Antique Silver Jester Pin Cushion 1920

This is a very unusual and rare pin cushion with a jester's head with hat with bells on in antique silver which is hallmarked for Birmingham 1920 and made by the silversmiths Cornelius Desormeaux Saunders & James Francis Hollings (Frank) Shepherd who worked in Bartlett's Place in London and were renowned for making good quality unusual smaller items The silver top is in good condition with no damage, just some age related tarnishing that is to be expected.

The actual pin cushion is covered in a material that is in quite poor condition so that it is impossible to say what it once was.

The material covers a cork base which is fine and underneath there is the original leather covered wood base.

It is 4" high overall and 3" across the base and is really very unusual and we have never seen one before.
