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.

This Edwardian pin cushion takes the figural form of a swan, modelled in sterling silver with an arched neck, pointed beak, and textured feather moulding across the body. Maker marks for Adie and Lovekin Limited and Birmingham hallmarks for 1908 appear on the silver band alongside a fitted purple velvet insert that fills the upper back. Measuring 4.5 cm high, 7 cm wide, and 3.5 cm deep, the piece sits flat on a surface as a decorative desk accessory in an office or study. Silver surfaces display a reflective metallic finish, contrasting with the soft texture of the dark purple fabric. The shaped tail feathers taper towards the rear, while the curved neck rises prominently at the front. Everyday use accommodates sewing pins and needles pressed directly into the cushioned cavity, maintaining a functional desktop item rooted in traditional English country house style.

FAQs

An Edwardian silver novelty pin cushion is a decorative sewing accessory cast in silver, shaped like an animal or object, produced predominantly between 1901 and 1910.

These items were typically constructed with a hollow sterling silver body, weighted bases, and filled with fabric cushions made of velvet or silk.

Authentic pieces feature British hallmarks denoting the maker, silver purity mark, assay office location, and date letter corresponding to the early 20th century.

Small silver novelties can be displayed on an office desk, styled within a glass curio cabinet, or placed on a dressing table alongside other antique silver accessories.

Clean the silver casing using a soft silver polishing cloth while avoiding direct contact between liquid polishes and the delicate textile cushion.
