Sorry, this item is out of stock.

This is a small example of a very desirable piece of silver sewing equippage in the form of a donkey pin cushion pulling a cart that is ideal for holding other accoutrements. This donkey is beautifully modelled with the look on its face suggesting it has had a tiring day! The cart is made from mother of pearl and is connected to the donkey by way of two silver straps. The wheels revolve and have expertly made spokes in the form of a six point star. A lovely pin cushion with clear hallmarks and in fine condition throughout.
