FAQs

Popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, novelty pin cushions were small cast silver objects shaped as animals, vehicles, or everyday items, featuring an embedded velvet cushion for holding pins.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver or silver-plated base metals, filled internally with sawdust or horsehair and topped with velvet or silk fabric.

Authentic pieces generally display official silver hallmarks, makers marks, and appropriate age-related oxidisation, along with period-accurate fabric inserts showing natural wear.

Small silver novelty items function well as decorative desktop objects, styled alongside books, stationery trays, or within a glass display cabinet.

Clean the silver surfaces gently using a soft polishing cloth specifically formulated for precious metals, taking care to keep liquids away from the fabric insert.
