Vintage gold-plated sewing kit: hedgehog pincushion & pineapple container from England
This charming set consists of two small gold-plated items, both stamped "Made in England" and made by the same manufacturer. The intricately crafted hedgehog was originally used as a pincushion, while the small pineapple, measuring 5 cm tall, was probably a storage box for delicate objects. The interior of the pineapple was covered with a light coating, providing an elegant appearance.
Today, these two vintage pieces can be used wonderfully as stylish decorations or for creative purposes. The hedgehog is ideal as a pincushion for seamstresses and craft enthusiasts, while the pineapple is perfect for safely storing small sewing accessories like buttons or safety pins. It also makes a great jewelry box for rings or earrings.
This nostalgic set appeals to collectors of antique English design as well as lovers of vintage sewing accessories. It makes a special gift for seamstresses, needlework enthusiasts, or anyone with a passion for small, ornate antiques. Perfect as an original birthday or Christmas present, or as a thoughtful token of appreciation.
We'd be happy to gift-wrap this set with a personalized greeting, making it a truly personal surprise for a special someone.
