Title	Cushion or pincushion cover (unfinished)
Creator	Unknown
Date.Original	Mid 19th c.
Description	Rectangular shaped light blueish gray stiffened mesh, with a central oval shaped floral design in Berlin work and beadwork. The floral design has a central composition, with flowers in white and brown and leaves in gray. Around the central floral design is a border, with black flowers edged in gold and oval shaped leaves in white and silver that connects all of the flowers. The outermost border is dark blue unfinished Berlin work, while the interior border also unfinished is a lighter blue color. A threaded needle is visible on the right side of the outermost border.; This design, for a decorative cushion or pin cushion cover, was found wrapped in paper in the attic of Locust Lawn (The Josiah Hasbrouck House), along with some of the yarn and a threaded needle, which is still attached. The wrapping was labeled "unfinished cushion". This is an example of Berlin work combined with beadwork. Because it is in an unfinished state, it shows how Berlin work was executed. The manufacturer's paper tag, which reads No. 9289, Ass. BI 208., is still attached to the stiffened mesh ground (not shown).
