Figural Antique Sterling Silver Satchel Pincushion
by Dominick & Haff * Circa 1890s
This antique silver pincushion is one I've not seen before. It's in the form of a satchel or portmanteau and the top and handle are solid sterling silver. The cushion is dark blue velvet and is intact and stuck with some old pins. The bottom is covered with silk.
The top is stamped "Sterling" and has the maker's mark for Dominick & Haff of New York.
The condition of the silver is excellent with no loss, dents or other damage. It measures 3 1/2" long x 1 3/4
" wide and is 2 1/2" high.
