FAQs

An Edwardian silver pin cushion is a decorative sewing accessory crafted from sterling silver, typically featuring a fabric-covered padded interior, popular during the reign of King Edward VII.

These items were predominantly constructed from hallmarked sterling silver frames combined with velvet, satin, or plush felt stuffing to securely hold straight pins and needles.

Authenticity is verified by checking for British hallmarks, including the makers mark, the city assay office symbol such as the anchor for Birmingham, and a date letter corresponding to the early 20th century.

This small decorative object can be displayed on a vanity table, a bookshelf, or a mantlepiece to add a touch of historic craftsmanship and refined metallic texture to a room.

Silver components should be maintained using a specialised non-abrasive microfibre polishing cloth, avoiding direct contact between liquid polish and the fabric cushion to prevent staining.
