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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Novelty silver pin cushions gained popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, crafted in figurative shapes like animals, birds, and footwear. These pieces served both a functional purpose for needlework and as decorative dressing table or desk accessories.

These items were constructed from sterling silver cast or stamped into decorative forms, filled with a fabric cushion insert made of velvet or silk containing sawdust or horsehair to hold pins securely.

Authentic pieces feature British hallmark stamps indicating the silver fineness, makers initials, date letter, and assay office mark, such as Chesters three sheaves and sword. Period examples show detailed surface chasing alongside natural oxidation consistent with age.

A small silver novelty pin cushion can be styled on a vanity table, desk, or curated shelf display alongside other antique silver accessories. It adds a historic, tactile element to a bedroom or study.

Gently wipe the silver surface with a soft lint-free cloth and mild silver polish, taking care not to saturate or damage the delicate fabric cushion. Store in a dry environment to minimise tarnishing.
