FAQs

Edwardian novelty silver pin cushions are small, decorative items fashioned into recognisable figures like animals or everyday objects, produced extensively in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as functional dressing table accessories.

These pieces typically feature a cast or stamped sterling silver exterior paired with a fitted interior cushion upholstered in coloured velvet, silk, or satin.

Authentic pieces by prominent makers like Sampson Mordan usually bear clear makers marks, traditional British hallmarks indicating the assay office and year, and often a registered design number stamped onto the silver.

These small decorative objects work well as points of interest when displayed on a dressing table tray, a vanity counter, or alongside books on a mantlepiece.

Antique silver should be gently cleaned using a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive materials that can damage the delicate hallmarked details and ensuring the fabric cushion does not become wet.
