FAQs

Edwardian silver novelty pin cushions gained immense popularity in the early 20th century, often manufactured by specialist silversmiths in Birmingham and Chester to cater to collectors of miniature silver.

These pieces typically feature a cast or stamped sterling silver base, often incorporating figural motifs like cherubs or animals, paired with a central fabric pad traditionally filled with sawdust or wool.

Authenticity is usually confirmed by clear hallmarking on the silver frame, denoting the assay office, silver standard (925), and date letter corresponding to the Edwardian era, alongside a registered design number.

Such small decorative objects suit placement on dressing tables, mantlepieces, or glass-fronted cabinets alongside other cabinet collectables to add a touch of period detail.

Silver should be cleaned sparingly with a non-abrasive cloth to preserve hallmarks, while the original fabric cushion must be kept dry and protected from dampness to prevent internal degradation.
