At the top, a regal crown motif is flanked by ornate floral spandrels, symbolising both reverence and celebration—likely gifted to mark the birth of a child in the mid to late 19th century.These sentimental pinwork cushions were often handmade by loved ones, and few survive in such display-worthy condition. This example shows areas of silk wear, as expected for its age, but the message and design remain clear and deeply charming.A rare and meaningful piece for serious collectors of Victorian sewing tools, textile ephemera, or antique baby memorabilia. These are becoming increasingly hard to find, especially with legible lettering and full motifs.ConditionThere is visible wear to the front and back silk, as shown in photos. This does not detract from the charm or legibility of the pinwork and remains a rare and display-worthy piece.DimensionsH:6.5cm x L:21cm x W:14.5cmEraMid to late 19th Centurty","image_url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/68fe6510cb2d747c85f7e082_de035927-1fda-488c-b8a2-021d708b6f6d.png?v=1771163645","href":"/product/antique-cream-silk-layette-welcome-dear-babe-pin-cushion.html","buy_url":"https://vintage-white-interior-store.myshopify.com/products/antique-cream-silk-layette-welcome-dear-babe-pin-cushion","buy_url_source":"shops.shop_domain + product.handle","seller_name":"vintage-white-interior-store.myshopify.com","seller_url":"https://vintage-white-interior-store.myshopify.com/","return_policy_url":"https://vintage-white-interior-store.myshopify.com/policies/refund-policy","media":[{"url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/68fe6510cb2d747c85f7e082_de035927-1fda-488c-b8a2-021d708b6f6d.png?v=1771163645","alt":null,"position":0},{"url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/68fe6512cb2d747c85f7e0d9_46da38d0-2a61-472b-b398-8836b719b2b0.png?v=1771163645","alt":null,"position":1},{"url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/68fe6514cb2d747c85f7e124_6ef44d80-ad04-4564-89ee-24ba4700b9c4.png?v=1771163645","alt":null,"position":2},{"url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/68fe6516cb2d747c85f7e194_a6a7e0f9-481d-46ab-9bcb-9dc191362d15.png?v=1771163645","alt":null,"position":3},{"url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/68fe6518cb2d747c85f7e1e2_41669965-9cc9-4592-ae4d-8cf266446147.png?v=1771163645","alt":null,"position":4},{"url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/68fe651acb2d747c85f7e239_374023ba-3351-490e-acf0-c7bc9fd47d9d.png?v=1771163645","alt":null,"position":5},{"url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/68fe651bcb2d747c85f7e27b_c21fae6a-a473-4f4e-9179-9f8d54c757d3.png?v=1771163644","alt":null,"position":6},{"url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/68fe651ccb2d747c85f7e314_3ca0bb1d-5cd3-45b8-bc0b-84cd6c1ad864.png?v=1771163644","alt":null,"position":7},{"url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/68fe651ecb2d747c85f7e346_db3a2f38-fbea-4799-8d76-70c4aad2f43b.png?v=1771163645","alt":null,"position":8},{"url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/68fe651fcb2d747c85f7e376_bd5d1097-5f93-486b-8149-e05e285a0852.png?v=1771163644","alt":null,"position":9}],"related":[{"handle":"ww1-coldstream-guards-sweetheart-pin-cushion-beaded-heart-think-of-me","title":"WW1 Coldstream Guards Sweetheart Pin Cushion Beaded Heart Think of Me","category":"Pin Cushions","price":"$155.00","image_url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/2E2BF8DE-72F1-4C0A-A560-217F85B3CA2E.jpg?v=1787835583","sku":null,"href":"/product/ww1-coldstream-guards-sweetheart-pin-cushion-beaded-heart-think-of-me.html"},{"handle":"antique-victorian-cockle-shell-velvet-pincushion","title":"Antique Victorian Cockle Shell Velvet Pincushion","category":"Pin Cushions","price":"$30.00","image_url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/6a8b39e71011f86f15ebd452.png?v=1787925671","sku":null,"href":"/product/antique-victorian-cockle-shell-velvet-pincushion.html"},{"handle":"antique-victorian-painted-mussel-shell-velvet-pincushion","title":"Antique Victorian Painted Mussel Shell Velvet Pincushion","category":"Pin Cushions","price":"$42.00","image_url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/6a8b39e71011f86f15ebd484.png?v=1787925666","sku":null,"href":"/product/antique-victorian-painted-mussel-shell-velvet-pincushion.html"},{"handle":"antique-victorian-shell-pincushion-with-red-velvet-green-ribbon","title":"Antique Victorian Shell Pincushion with Red Velvet & Green Ribbon","category":"Pin Cushions","price":"$38.00","image_url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0693/9302/3204/files/6a8b39e71011f86f15ebd42a.png?v=1787925665","sku":null,"href":"/product/antique-victorian-shell-pincushion-with-red-velvet-green-ribbon.html"}]}}
