Small antique pin cushion reinvented from a miniature floral porcelain casket dating from the mid-20th century.

Resting on delicate golden feet and adorned with a hinged lid framed in gilded metal, this little treasure evokes the precious boxes once placed upon vanities, writing desks, and dressing tables in historic homes.

Originally, this small porcelain box was intended to hold delicate personal objects — jewellery, pills, scented pastilles, or small everyday keepsakes. Its refined silhouette, romantic floral motifs, and gilded finishes reflect the decorative charm beloved during the early to mid-20th century.

Reinvented in the atelier, it now houses a deep red velvet cushion, transforming this antique casket into a pin cushion inspired by antique sewing necessities.

Its closable lid delicately protects the velvet while preserving the precious elegance of the original object. Every detail — from the rich velvet to the small gilded mountings — contributes to making this piece a singular and timeless atelier presence.

Entirely unique within the atelier, this piece carries its own irregularities, traces of time, and original subtleties, bearing witness to the decades it has travelled through before joining the world of L’Héritière des Belles Ombres.

Imagined as a precious little atelier object, this antique pin cushion gently accompanies sewing rituals, writing moments, and interiors sensitive to beautiful antique objects and atmospheres inspired by the Belle Époque.
