Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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, particularly those shaped as shoes or animals, gained widespread popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Produced extensively by British silversmiths, these functional desktop accessories served both practical sewing purposes and decorative roles in households.

These items typically feature a hollow cast or pressed sterling silver casing shaped like a heel or slipper. The interior cavity is filled with compressed velvet or wool padding designed to hold sewing pins securely.

Authentic British pieces display hallmark stamps, including a makers mark (such as Adie & Lovekin), the lion passant indicating sterling silver purity, an assay office symbol, and a date letter corresponding to the early 20th century.

Small silver novelties function effectively as decorative accents when displayed on a bedroom dressing table, a bookshelf vignette, or inside a curated curio cabinet alongside other small antiques.

Clean silver surfaces gently using a soft, non-abrasive cotton cloth and specialised silver polish, ensuring liquid does not contact or stain the fabric cushion. Store in a dry environment to minimise oxidisation over time.
