FAQs

Figural silver pin cushions gained immense popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, often manufactured by specialist silversmiths as both functional sewing tools and novelty collectables.

These items typically feature a cast or stamped sterling silver exterior shaped into an animal, fitted with an internal cork or wooden core covered in velvet or plush fabric to secure pins.

Authenticity is generally verified through clear hallmarks indicating the silver standard, assay office, and makers mark, alongside period-appropriate construction methods and natural age-related patina.

They make excellent display pieces on a mantlepiece, bookshelf, or side table, adding a touch of whimsical character and historical interest to contemporary or traditional schemes.

Silver should be cleaned sparingly using a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver polish to avoid damaging fine surface details and hallmarks, and stored in a dry environment to prevent excessive tarnishing.
