FAQs

Figural pin cushions became immensely popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, manufactured predominantly in Birmingham and Chester as both functional sewing tools and novelty collectables.

Authentic pieces typically feature a cast or stamped sterling silver outer shell combined with a tightly stuffed fabric insert, often utilising velvet, mohair, or silk plush to secure pins.

Authenticity is verified by checking for clear British hallmarks stamped on the silver casing, indicating the makers mark, assay office, standard mark, and date letter.

These small decorative objects suit placement on a desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece where their intricate detail can be appreciated up close as a cabinet curiosity.

Preservation requires gentle cleaning with a specialised non-abrasive silver cloth while taking care to avoid getting moisture or cleaning agents onto the fabric cushion insert.
