Antique Silver Decorated Canoe Pin Cushion

1900 - 1920
Description

There are a number of canoe pin cushions available in the market but I have never seen one decorated as this one is.

Created from solid sterling silver, this canoe pin cushion is topped with a paddle and rope. Both the canoe and the paddle are hallmarked for Birmingham 1908. The maker's mark is too rubbed to discern. The cushion looks to be original and is faded and fairly solid. The silver is in excellent condition.

Dimensions:

Length: 9cm

Width: 3cm

Height: 3cm.

The pound coin is for size reference.

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.

FAQs

Novelty silver pin cushions emerged during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras as decorative sewing accessories shaped like animals, vehicles, and everyday objects.

These items were typically constructed from sterling silver or silver-plated casings, filled with horsehair or wool stuffing, and upholstered with velvet or silk fabric inserts.

Authenticity can be verified by inspecting hallmark stamps indicating the silver purity, makers initials, town mark, and date letter along the metal frame.

A small silver pin cushion can be styled as a decorative accent on an office desk, displayed inside a glass curio cabinet, or placed on a vanity tray.

Clean the metal surfaces gently using a soft silver polishing cloth while keeping liquid polish away from the original fabric cushion to prevent staining or moisture damage.
