An ebonised wood hatpin holder of cylindrical form, featuring a stepped and flared pedestal base. The holder is turned on a lathe and includes several metal-lined sockets at the top to accommodate the pins. Accompanying the holder is an assortment of period hatpins. The collection includes a teardrop-shaped faux pearl pin with a silver-tone metal collar inset with clear faceted pastes, three spherical cream faux pearl pins in various sizes, a small black glass or jet bead pin, and a stepped red glass or composition pin. The hatpins feature metal shanks. No maker marks or inscriptions are visible on the holder or pins.
Height: Approximately 64 mm.
Condition report:
Good antique condition. The ebonised holder shows minor surface scuffs, light scratches, and a matured patina consistent with age and use. The hatpins exhibit typical signs of wear, including some loss of lustre to the faux pearl finishes and oxidation to the metal shanks.
