FAQs

Figural silver pin cushions are small decorative sewing items shaped as animals, birds, and objects, which reached the height of their popularity in Britain during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods.

They were typically constructed using sterling silver for the figural body, often bearing British hallmarks, and fitted with a stuffed fabric insert made from velvet, plush, or silk to securely hold pins and needles.

Authentic pieces usually feature clear British silver hallmarks indicating the maker, assay office, and date letter, alongside heavier casting weight and natural ageing or wear to the velvet insert.

These small decorative objects work well when displayed on a desk, within a glass cabinet, or styled on a bookshelf alongside books and other curiosities to add a touch of historical character.

Antique silver should be cleaned gently with a specialist microfibre cloth to avoid damaging the hallmarks, and the fabric cushion must be kept dry and away from direct sunlight to prevent deterioration.
