FAQs

Novelty silver pin cushions gained immense popularity during the Edwardian era, when silversmiths began producing miniature figures of animals, birds, and household objects to cater to affluent Victorians and Edwardians with a penchant for desk ornaments and sewing collectables.

These items were typically cast in sterling silver using the lost-wax or die-stamping method, then fitted with a stuffed fabric padoften plush velvet, silk, or satinsecured into the hollow body of the figurine to safely hold sewing pins.

Authentic pieces generally feature clear British hallmarks indicating the assay office, standard silver fineness (such as the lion passant for sterling), a date letter corresponding to the Edwardian period (19011910), and often a makers mark alongside registration numbers.

Placed subtly on a bookshelf, desk, or mantelpiece, these miniature silver figures add a touch of historical character and refined whimsy to contemporary spaces as curated objects of curiosity.

Silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialized microfibre cloth to avoid abrasive damage to the hallmarks and the delicate fabric cushion, keeping the piece away from excessive moisture to preserve both metals and textiles.
