This 19th-century Victorian pin cushion is made from sterling silver and velvet. The heart-shaped object has a polished silver finish and a dark blue velvet cushion top, with a repousse floral border showing intricate relief chasing of flowers and leaves along the vertical silver edge. The piece stands on a plain flat base and has age-appropriate patina on the silver, with slight wear to the blue fabric consistent with its age. It measures 11.43 cm tall by 10.16 cm wide. Today, it sits on a bedside table as a functional container for pins and sewing notions, or as a decorative item in a collection of antique silverware.

FAQs

During the nineteenth century, silver pin cushions were popular decorative and functional sewing accessories, often crafted in novelty shapes such as hearts or animals, featuring repousse silver borders surrounding fabric tops.

These items were typically constructed from sterling silver or silver plate frames, enclosing a central cushion stuffed with horsehair, sawdust, or wool, and covered in velvet, satin, or silk.

Authentic pieces display period hallmarks or makers marks, such as standard sterling purity stamps or specific manufacturer logos, alongside natural surface oxidisation and crisp relief detailing.

Small antique silver novelty items can be styled on a bedroom dressing table, displayed inside a glass curiosity cabinet, or placed atop a stack of books on a console table.

Clean the silver frame gently using a soft, non-abrasive silver polishing cloth while keeping liquid cleansers away from the textile cushion to prevent staining or moisture damage.
