Artificer's Guild Antique Silver Hat Pin Cushion Stand

1900 - 1920
Description

An Arts and Crafts antique silver sterling silver hat pin cushion by the highly revered Edward Spencer for the Artificer's Guild.

It is clearly hallmarked for London 1928 and is in a domed cylindrical drum form with washed silk cushion. The silver ring has applied rope twist bordered roundels of alternating eagles, roses and ouroboros (circular motifs of snakes swallowing their tail) motifs. Highly unusual and fabulous.

Dimensions:

Height: 6cm

Diameter: 13cm

The Artificer's Guild was first set up in 1901 and despite financially problematic early years proved to be one of the few commercially successful craft guilds. Although initially led by Nelson Dawson, Edward Spencer was the most influential designer during the golden age of the guild.

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.

An Edwardian silver pin cushion stand is a decorative desktop accessory crafted during the early 20th century to hold sewing pins and hatpins, consisting of a hallmarked silver base with a cushioned fabric top.

These items were predominantly constructed from solid sterling silver or silver plate, paired with woven silk, velvet, or wool fabric tops stuffed with horsehair or sawdust.

Authentic pieces feature official silver hallmarks, hand-wrought finishing details, and distinctive stylised motifs such as embossed medallions, cable borders, or repousse patterns.

An antique silver pin cushion works well as a decorative accent on a dressing table, vanity unit, or office desk tray alongside fine stationery and jewellery.

Polish the silver outer casing gently with a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish, taking care to avoid contact between cleaning products and the original fabric cushion.
