Tiny 19th C. Folk Art Starfish Make-Do Pin Cushion

Price: 75

Sold by Albion Valley Folk Art and Antiques

For sale is a terrific and quite small size 19th century folk art starfish form make-do pin cushion that has been in my collection for several years. It has 8 "arms" made of linen or cotton, and some have remnants of the original black silk that covered them. The stand is a very small candle holder, and I believe the cushion is filled with cotton or possibly wool. The piece measures about 4" tall and 3 1/2" in diameter, and is in nice, but antique condition, with lots of missing black silk as previously noted, but no holes, etc. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions or for additional photos.
