Just short of 3 ½ inches (8.5cm) long, the velvet pin cushion looks original, it’s a bit hard so you could struggle to get a pin in it!

FAQs

Novelty silver pin cushions gained immense popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, produced extensively by silversmiths in Birmingham and Chester. Craftspeople fashioned silver casing into whimsical shapes, such as animals, shoes, and boats, catering to collectors and high-society sewing enthusiasts.

These items were predominantly constructed with a sterling silver stamped or cast outer shell, hallmarked for purity, and fitted with a dense fabric cushion such as velvet, silk, or emery-filled cloth to hold pins securely.

Authentic British pieces feature full official hallmarks, including the makers mark, the silver purity mark (lion passant), the assay office mark (such as an anchor for Birmingham), and a specific date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

A small silver pin cushion can be styled on a curated vignette atop a dressing table, an office desk, or displayed inside a glass curio cabinet alongside other antique metalwork for a refined, tactile detail.

Clean the silver exterior gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a specialised silver polishing cloth, avoiding liquid polishes or water that could seep into and damage the original fabric cushion.
