Antique Silver Miniature Pin Cushion - Swan

1900 - 1920
Description

This is tiny! An antique solid sterling silver novelty pin cushion, fashioned as a miniature swan.

It is hallmarked on the side for Birmingham 1909 and whilst the maker's mark is incredibly small, it is almost certainly for Levi & Salaman.

It is only 2.5cm in length. It looks to be the original blue cushion. The detailing is wonderful - fantastic feathers and a graceful neck. Lovely!

Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Popularised during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, novelty silver pin cushions were crafted in whimsical shapes such as swans, pigs, and shoes to serve both practical sewing purposes and decorative tabletop display.

These items typically consist of a cast or stamped silver body, hollowed out to hold a fabric-filled cushion, which was usually made from velvet or silk and secured internally.

Authentic pieces usually feature official silver hallmarks indicating the maker, purity, assay office, and date letter, alongside precise metalwork details and expected age-related wear inside the cushion cavity.

This compact object can be placed on a dressing table tray, styled inside a glass display dome, or arranged on a bookshelf alongside small silver curios.

Clean the metal surfaces gently using a soft microfibre cloth and a dedicated silver polish, ensuring liquid cleaners do not contact the original fabric cushion insert.
