Antique Silver Pin Cushion - Piano Stool

1900 - 1920
Description

A beautifully crafted antique sterling silver pin cushion, designed as a piano stool complete with cabriole legs and decorated handles.

It is clearly hallmarked for Birmingham 1909 with the maker's mark of Clark & Sewell. The top features the original cushion, rather worn and flaking away. The cushion is removable and opens to reveal a storage box containing a second cushion, this one with a faded silk cover. It is wonderful to find such an item in its original state.

Dimensions:

Length: 5.5cm

Width: 4.5cm

Height: 5cm

Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Novelty silver pin cushions emerged during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, crafted in whimsical shapes such as animals, furniture, and vehicles to serve as functional yet decorative sewing accessories.

These items were predominantly constructed from sterling silver or silver plate frames fitted with stuffed velvet, silk, or wool fabric pads designed to hold steel sewing pins securely.

Authentic pieces usually feature official hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal frame, denoting the maker, silver purity standard, assay office location, and date letter.

A miniature novelty pin cushion can be displayed as a decorative accent on a dressing table, within a glass curio cabinet, or alongside other silver collectibles on a sideboard top.

Gentle polishing with a soft cloth and specialised silver cream protects the metal frame, while keeping the original fabric cushion dry and away from direct sunlight prevents textile degradation.
