Antique Edwardian Silver Novelty Pin Cushion - Camel

1900 - 1920
Description

This is a lovely example of Edwardian whimsy: an antique solid sterling silver pin cushion, modelled as a camel.

It is clearly hallmarked on the side for Birmingham 1906, with the maker's mark of Saunders & Shepherd. The original pin cushion is worn and the silver body of the camel has two bruises, one on each side: he is priced accordingly. Nonetheless, he is charming and will make a wonderful addition to any collection.

Dimensions:

Height: 5.5cm

Length: 5cm

Width: 2cm

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 are decorative sewing items originating primarily from the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, crafted in realistic figurative shapes such as animals, shoes, or vehicles rather than traditional geometric forms.

These items were predominantly constructed from cast sterling silver, hallmarked by British silversmiths, and fitted with a textile cushion made of velvet or velvet-like fabric to hold pins securely.

Authentic British pieces feature official assay office hallmarks stamped into the silver body, including a makers mark, standard mark such as the lion passant for sterling silver, town mark, and date letter corresponding to the Edwardian period.

Small silver novelties can be displayed on an office desk as decorative paperweights, placed within a glass cabinet among silver collectables, or arranged on a dressing table or bookshelf.

The silver structure should be gently wiped with a soft, non-abrasive silver polishing cloth while taking care to avoid wetting or applying chemical cleaners to the original fabric cushion.
