This Edwardian pin cushion takes the form of a lace-up boot and originates from 1906, bearing Birmingham hallmarks and the silversmiths mark for Levi and Salaman. The piece consists of sterling silver with a bright polished finish, complemented by a dark blue velvet insert at the top, metal eyelet details, and a bow motif on the toe. Hallmarks appear near the collar, and the blue fabric shows minor wear and fading. Measuring 4 cm high, 7 cm wide, and 3 cm deep, this small decorative object sits well on a bedside table in a home today to hold pins and needles securely. The silver construction provides a solid structure while the velvet interior cushions sewing implements, offering both utility and a touch of traditional English country house style to a dressing area or desk.

FAQs

Popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, novelty silver pin cushions were decorative sewing tools crafted in various whimsical shapes, including boots, animals, and furniture. They served both as functional items for needlework and as collectable accessories displayed on dressing tables.

These items feature a hollow cast or stamped sterling silver casing shaped like footwear, lined with velvet, plush, or hair-filled fabric to hold pins securely. The silver frame often included detailed features such as shoe eyelets, faux stitching, and registration numbers.

Authentic pieces feature official British assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for sterling silver, a date letter, and a makers mark. Many Edwardian novelty designs also feature a registered design number stamped directly into the silver surface.

This decorative object can be displayed on a vanity table, bedside table, or within a glass display cabinet alongside other silver accessories. It also functions as a unique accent piece on a dressing room tray or open bookshelf.

Gently wipe the silver casing with a dry silver-polishing cloth, taking care to avoid contact with the fabric insert. Store the item in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent silver tarnish and preserve the original velvet cushion.
