A very rare early Tunbridge ware painted commemorative pin cushion in the form of a Royal Crown, dated 1809 and commemorating the Jubilee of George III, the crown with fleur de lis and cross motifs to a red painted band with painted jewelled border. Unscrewing to reveal the original blue silk pin cushion, the base inscribed in ink 'This Pin Cushion was made to commemorate the Jubilee of George III October 25th 1809', one small area of paint loss, one chip to base rim, 5.8cms dia., 6cms high. By today's standards the Jubilee was a modest affair with the Royal Family attending a private service at Windsor and a grand fete and firework display at Frogmore. This appears to be the earliest example so far known of a piece of Tunbridge commemorating royalty. For a detailed account see The Furniture History Society Newsletter No. 198 May 2015 - Tunbridge Wares with Royal Connections, Dr Brian Austen, which quotes a box in a private collection recording the 'Brunswick Jubilee Fair August 1st 1814', and a box by Wise (Tunbridge Wells Museum Collection) with the date of 19th July 1821 for the Coronation of George IV, as well as a reference to a further box thought to date to 1831.
