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

During the Edwardian era and the First World War, silversmiths produced novelty and commemorative silver pin cushions in various symbolic forms, including military motifs and emblems such as the Red Cross, serving both practical sewing purposes and commemorative roles.

These items were typically constructed from sterling silver or electroplated nickel silver bases, often weighted for stability, and fitted with velvet or wool cushion inserts held securely within the metal frame.

Authentic pieces feature British assay hallmarks or makers marks stamped onto the silver rim or base, often accompanied by design registration numbers (RD numbers) that indicate the specific year the design was patented.

A silver pin cushion can be styled as a decorative desktop curio, arranged alongside historical silver boxes on a dressing table, or integrated into a glass-fronted display cabinet with other small antiques.

The silver surface should be cleaned using a soft microfiber cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding contact between the chemical cleaners and the original velvet cushion insert to prevent staining or textile degradation.
