Description

A Really Lovely Edwardian Sterling Silver Pin Cushion. With its domed green velvet cushion and a beautiful ribbon bow detail at the front, it evokes the fashionable millinery styles worn by women of the early 20th century - and perhaps even by those at the heart of the suffragette movement. Hallmarked for Chester, 1908.

* Still useful for pins, needles, or even earrings.

Measurements:

Height: 1 1/4" (approx. 3cm)

Diameter: 3 1/4" (approx. 8cm)

Total weight: 105g

In good condition – The silver has been gently polished and retains a soft, even patina. Green velvet shows some light surface wear, consistent with age, but remains firmly attached and well-shaped.

FAQs

Edwardian novelty pin cushions, popular in the early 20th century, reflected the eras taste for whimsical, miniature silver objects manufactured primarily in Birmingham and Chester.

These pieces typically combined a stamped or cast sterling silver base with an interior stuffing of sawdust or wool, covered in vibrant silk, velvet, or plush fabric.

Authenticity is verified by clear hallmark stamps indicating the silver purity, date letter, assay office, and makers mark, alongside period-appropriate construction methods and wear.

Placed on a dressing table, desk, or mantelpiece, these small silver objects add a touch of historical character and refined metallic texture to modern schemes.

Silver components should be carefully cleaned with a specialist non-abrasive silver cloth, taking care to avoid touching or wetting the delicate fabric cushion.
