FAQs

Edwardian novelty pin cushions emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, becoming immensely popular as desk accessories and collectables among the affluent classes.

These items typically feature a cast or pressed sterling silver body combined with a fabric cushion insert, often made from velvet, silk, or satin.

Authentic pieces usually bear clear British hallmarks indicating the assay office, date letter for the Edwardian period, and sterling standard silver marks.

This piece works well as a curated decorative accent on a bookshelf, desk, or display cabinet alongside other small collectables.

Silver should be cleaned gently with a specialist microfibre polishing cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage fabric inserts or remove desirable patination.
