FAQs

Edwardian novelty silver pin cushions are small functional sewing accessories produced during the early 20th century, frequently cast in naturalistic animal shapes such as pigs, chicks, or dogs. They consist of a sterling silver body housing a textile cushion designed to hold steel pins.

These items were predominantly constructed using sterling silver for the outer casing, which was cast or stamped. The interior cushion was filled with materials like sawdust or emery sand and upholstered in velvet or silk fabric.

Authentic British pieces feature official assay office hallmarks stamped into the silver casing, including a makers mark, lion passant for sterling purity, town mark (such as an anchor for Birmingham), and a specific date letter representing the year of manufacture.

These small decorative objects function well when arranged as part of a curated vignette on a sideboard, vanity unit, or bookshelf alongside leather-bound books and small glass collectibles.

The silver surface should be wiped gently with a soft silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding chemical dips or liquid cleaners that could seep into and damage the original textile interior.
