This Victorian novelty pin cushion takes the form of a horse hoof, dating from 1891 with Birmingham hallmarks. The piece combines a polished silver body featuring a cut-away edge with a replacement dark blue velvet pad and a small metal suspension ring at the pointed heel. Softened hallmarks appear on the silver, accompanied by a lost maker's mark, while the metal surface shows a glossy finish. Measuring 2.8 cm high, 5.5 cm wide, and 2.7 cm deep, this collector's item sits neatly on a desk, dressing table, or vanity surface. The attached ring allows the piece to suspend from a chatelaine chain or wear as a pendant, serving as a functional accessory or decorative display item within a period-styled interior.
