This Edwardian novelty pin cushion is modelled in the form of a standing pig, rendered in bright sterling silver with a smooth, polished finish. The piece rests upon four small cast silver legs with pointed trotters and features a dark velvet insert cushion along its back, accompanied by clear hallmark stamps visible on the silver body. The interior cushion shows minor wear and fading, while the exterior silver displays realistic ear shapes and snout definition. Measuring 2.5 cm high by 5 cm wide and 2 cm deep, the object comes hallmarked for Birmingham 1905 with the silversmiths mark for Levi & Salaman. In a contemporary interior, this small antique piece sits comfortably upon a study bookshelf, dressing table tray, or collector cabinet display. The silver body catches ambient light, while the compact scale allows placement amongst books and decorative objects in a traditional English country house setting. The design provides a practical sewing accessory while maintaining a decorative sculptural presence.

FAQs

During the Edwardian era in the early twentieth century, British silversmiths began producing small, whimsical silver novelties, with animal-shaped pin cushions becoming immensely popular among collectors and sewing enthusiasts.

These items were crafted from sterling silver shells, often weighted internally with lead or plaster, and fitted with velvet or plush fabric tops to hold needles and pins securely.

Authentic British pieces bear official hallmarks including the lion passant for sterling silver, an assay office mark, a date letter, and a makers mark stamped clearly into the metal surface.

Small novelty silver items make excellent accent pieces when displayed on a desk, bookshelf, or vanity tray, adding historical texture and craftsmanship to contemporary interiors.

Gently polish the silver casing using a soft silver cloth, taking care to avoid getting polish or liquid cleaner onto the original fabric cushion or inside the seams.
