This antique 19th-century steel table clamp is a charming and functional example of early sewing tools. It features a trough-shaped pin cushion in its original red fabric, securely mounted atop a sturdy steel frame.
A distinctive heart-shaped thumb screw allows the clamp to be fastened to the edge of a table, keeping the cushion steady during use. Both practical and decorative, it embodies the thoughtful design of 19th-century domestic tools.
The clamp is in good antique condition, with light wear and age-related patina. The red fabric pincushion shows wear and fading, typical for its age, but remains original.
A lovely addition to any sewing collection or display of Victorian needlework tools.
