Antique Edwardian Silver Novelty Bulldog Pin Cushion

1900 - 1920
Description

A fine example of a solid sterling silver novelty pin cushion, fashioned as a bulldog.

He is clearly hallmarked for Birmingham 1907 with the maker's mark of Adie & Lovekin Ltd. He appears to have his original pin cushion, which although it isn't obvious from the photographs, is blue. Overall, he's in a great condition, although he does look a little glum!

Dimensions:

Height: 5.5cm

Length: 6.5cm

Width: 2.5cm

Weight: 52g

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

Popularised during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, novelty silver pin cushions were manufactured in small, naturalistic animal forms such as dogs, pigs, and birds. They served as functional sewing accessories while also functioning as decorative items for dressing tables and desks.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver or electroplated nickel silver, incorporating an inset cushion made from velvet or silk stuffed with hair or wool to hold steel pins.

Authentic British Edwardian silver examples feature standard hallmarks including a makers mark, town mark, lion passant for sterling purity, and a date letter corresponding to the years between 1901 and 1910.

Small novelty silver objects function well when arranged on an office desk, dressing table, or within a glass display cabinet alongside other desk accessories and historic curiosities.

Gently wipe the silver surfaces using a dry silver-polishing cloth, ensuring liquid polishes or chemical cleansers do not come into contact with the original velvet cushion insert.
