Description

A rare good sized solid sterling novelty pin cushion. It is hallmarked with Egyptian silver marks - I would date it to the early to mid 20th century. It has been beautifully cast in the form of a swan and is in superb condition being free from dings splits holes and repairs, it looks like the cushion has been renewed at some point. It is larger than most measuring approx. 3 inches (7.2cm) long by 1.25 inches (3.4cm) wide by 2.25 inches (5.3cms) tall and weighs 76 grams (including the cushion). A very good quality rare piece.

Declaration

FAQs

Clean antique silver gently with a specialist non-abrasive silver cloth to preserve the natural oxidisation in recessed areas, avoiding liquid dips that can damage fabric pin cushions.

Display this piece as a cabinet curiosity or a focal point on a study desk, allowing its intricate metallic texture to contrast against minimalist contemporary surfaces.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmarks or makers marks stamped on the silver, the quality of hand-chased surface detailing, and the integrity of the inner stuffing and historic fabric lining.

These pieces were typically cast or stamped in sterling or continental silver, often featuring detailed chased feather work, with the cushion section traditionally stuffed with sawdust or wool and upholstered in velvet or silk.

Novelty silver pin cushions gained immense popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, as both functional sewing tools and decorative desk ornaments.
