Description

A group of three English silver-plated items. The collection includes a circular pin cushion featuring a green velvet cushion set into a silver-plated base of squat circular form. The underside of the base is stamped GOLDSMITHS & SILVERSMITHS COMPANY / 112 REGENT STREET.W. and REGENT PLATE. Also included is a novelty pin cushion modelled in the form of a lady’s heeled shoe with stitched detailing and a pointed toe. This item is constructed from white metal and contains a purple fabric cushion with cord laces; the sole is incised MADE IN ENGLAND. The final item is a silver-plated napkin ring of circular form, decorated with an engraved border of diagonal hatched lines.
