Bargello Pinchushion
18th c

Small and sweet and very finely embroidered.


Cataloguing

Embroidered in shades of mid-green, blue-green and buff silks with three zig zag designs each side, the four sides in woven ivory silk.



2 1/4 x 1 3/4 in; 6 x 5 cm


Condition

The sides are worn as you will see from the photos, revealing the horsehair stuffing. There are a few minute areas of wear, where the silks have gone, to both of the main sides. Have to say these are hardly noticeable and you need a magnifying glass to see them.
