FAQs

Novelty silver pin cushions gained immense popularity in Britain during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, often fashioned into whimsical shapes such as animals, furniture, and footwear to appeal to collectors and domestic users alike.

These pieces typically feature a cast or pressed sterling silver body, hallmarked for purity, fitted with an internal cork or sawdust stuffing layer, and covered in velvet, plush silk, or wool to securely hold pins.

Authentic pieces generally bear clear British sterling silver hallmarks indicating the assay office, date letter, and makers mark, while showing appropriate age-related patina and wear on both the metal and fabric components.

Small silver collectables can be displayed effectively as focal points on a mantelpiece, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or styled on a desk alongside other curated curiosities to add historical texture to a room.

Silver should be cleaned sparingly with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized polish, taking care to avoid getting moisture or cleaning agents on the delicate fabric cushion to prevent staining or degradation.
