FAQs

Figural pin cushions gained immense popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, produced primarily by British silversmiths as whimsical yet functional desk and dressing table accessories.

These items typically feature a hollow-stamped or cast sterling silver body combined with a textile-covered stuffing pad, often utilising wool, plush velvet, or silk for the pin cushion element.

Authentic pieces usually bear clear British hallmarks stamped on the silver body, indicating the makers mark, standard of silver, assay office, and date letter, alongside period-appropriate construction methods.

Place the piece on a desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece as a sculptural object of curiosity that adds a touch of historical charm and tactile interest to contemporary spaces.

Clean the silver gently with a specialist microfibre cloth and non-abrasive silver polish, taking care to avoid getting moisture or polish on the fabric cushion component.
