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.

FAQs

Novelty silver pin cushions gained immense popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, particularly between 1890 and 1910. Silversmiths created small, whimsical figures shaped like birds, pigs, shoes, and motorcars to serve both as functional sewing accoutrements and collectable desktop ornaments.

These items typically feature a cast or stamped sterling silver hollow body fitted with a fabric cushion insert. The interior cushion is commonly filled with velvet, wool, or emery sand to keep sewing pins secure and free from rust.

Authentic British silver from the Edwardian period carries official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for sterling purity, an assay town mark, a makers mark, and a specific date letter representing the year of manufacture.

Small novelty silver pieces function well as accent decor on books, writing desks, or layered inside glazed display cabinets. Grouping similar silver miniatures together creates a focal point on a vanity or bookshelf.

Silver should be lightly wiped with a soft, dry impregnated silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish. Liquid immersion cleaners and harsh chemicals should be avoided, as they can permanently discolour or ruin the original velvet cushion insert.
