Flower Frog

Pollards Pin Holder, mid-20th century

6 cm, Lead

Good Condition, with light signs of age and use.

A compact Pollards lead flower frog, designed as a practical pin holder for securing stems in floral arrangements. Solid and weighty for its size, the piece provides stability while allowing for precise and structured placement of flowers.

Its utilitarian form reflects the functional design of traditional florist tools, where durability and effectiveness were paramount. The dense lead construction ensures it sits firmly within a vessel and without floating, making it ideal for both fresh and dried arrangements.

Flower frogs such as this were widely used throughout the early to mid-20th century, valued for their reliability and ease of use. This example by Pollards embodies that tradition of an unassuming yet essential tool.
