FAQs

Novelty silver pin cushions gained immense popularity in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, with makers such as Sampson Mordan producing whimsical animal shapes for dressing tables and sewing boxes.

These items typically feature a cast or stamped sterling silver outer shell combined with a fitted fabric interior, most commonly velvet or plush silk, designed to hold sewing pins securely.

Authentic pieces usually bear clear makers marks, traditional silver hallmarks including the lion passant and date letter, and often a registration number stamped into the base or silver rim.

Place the piece on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or dressing table as a focal point among other small curiosities to add historical texture and refined detail to the room.

Clean sterling silver gently with a specialist microfibre polishing cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage the underlying metalwork and degrade the fabric cushion.
