Description

This delightful silver "hatching chick" pin cushion was designed by the highly collectable Sampson Mordan & Co and is fully hallmarked for Chester 1906. The pin cushion is designed as a newly hatched chick sitting in half an egg shell. It is beautifully detailed, with the chick's back being the cushion, which is finished in the original purple velvet. The chick is 'weighted' in such a way that, should it be knocked over, it will 'right' itself.
