This Edwardian miniature novelty pin cushion takes the form of a goat and dates from 1911 with Chester hallmarks for Adie and Lovekin Limited. The solid sterling silver body has a bright silver finish decorated with chased fur texture across the head, neck, and legs, alongside stamped hallmarks on the flank and four small cloven feet. Fitted into the back of the figure is a dark green velvet pin cushion insert with a furry appearance. Measuring 3 cm high and 3 cm wide, the piece sits neatly on a bookshelf or desk within an English country house interior. The small size makes it suitable for display alongside other miniature silver ornaments, serving both as a decorative accessory and a practical desk accessory for holding pins.

FAQs

Popularised during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, novelty silver pincushions were decorative sewing accessories crafted in whimsical shapes, such as animals or everyday objects, featuring an integrated textile pad for holding pins.

These items typically combine cast or chased sterling silver casings with a dense interior cushion made from velvet, plush, or wool fabric designed to hold sewing pins securely.

Authentic pieces feature official assay hallmarks stamped into the silver body, displaying maker marks, silver purity symbols, assay office marks, and date letters corresponding to the period.

These small decorative objects work well displayed on a bookshelf, desk, or dressing table alongside other curiosities, vanity items, or silver collectables.

Clean the silver gently using a soft polishing cloth specifically treated for silver, taking care to avoid harsh liquid polishes or moisture contacting the textile cushion area.
