A wonderfully timeworn vintage Asian pin cushion, bearing the signs of decades spent beside a sewing basket. With its ring of painted doll heads, colourful fabric petals and visible evidence of use, it is a piece that celebrates the beauty of the well-loved and well-used.

Covered in deep navy fabric with radiating stitched divisions, the cushion is encircled by painted fabric doll heads and brightly coloured fabric petals. Decades of use have left their mark, with pin holes, wear, fading and areas of fabric loss, creating the sort of honest patina that cannot be replicated.

An appealing piece for collectors of vintage sewing tools, textile enthusiasts and lovers of objects that have earned their imperfections. Equally at home displayed amongst haberdashery collections, folk textiles or in a creative studio.

A charming survivor that celebrates the beauty of the useful and the well loved.
