An exquisitely made Edwardian pins pot dating from 1902, combining an ivory toned celluloid body with a hallmarked silver mount and delicate period detailing.
Dating from 1902, this petite pins pot is a lovely example of the care once given to everyday sewing accessories. The combination of an ivory toned celluloid body and silver mount gives it a quietly elegant appearance, while the delicate script detailing adds an especially personal touch.
Originally made to hold sewing pins, pieces like this offer a fascinating glimpse into Edwardian domestic life, when even practical household objects could be beautifully designed and thoughtfully made. Its small scale makes it particularly appealing as a piece of antique haberdashery, while its silver mount gives it an added sense of refinement.
British silver hallmarks are present, providing an important detail of its history and craftsmanship. The little pot would sit beautifully amongst antique sewing accessories, silver pieces or other small objects with a story to tell.
A graceful little piece of Edwardian craftsmanship, with the charm of an everyday object made to be both useful and beautiful.
