Antique Beaded Pin Cushion w/Initials, Trees++

Price: 95 including shipping and insurance

Sold by Albion Valley Folk Art and Antiques

For sale is a very endearing antique, most likely late 19th century, folk art beaded pin cushion that I acquired in Iowa. It has the beaded initials "M.Z." at the top, with 3 naive images of trees and/or flowers, and baskets. I believe the design is rendered on wool, and the backing is a a sweet cream colored calico fabric. It is encircled with gathered tan fabric, possibly seam binding, and is filled with cotton, I believe. The pin cushion measures about 4" long not including the hanger, 3" wide, and 3/4" front to back, and is in very nice antique condition, with very light toning and a couple of tiny brown spots on the back, some wear on the binding near the hanger, but no really significant flaws. Please look carefully at the pictures as they are an important part of the description, and contact me with any questions or for additional photos.
