This Edwardian miniature pin cushion takes the form of a resting duck modelled in solid sterling silver. The piece displays a silver finish alongside a faded green fabric inset cushion, detailed feather engravings across the body, and a rounded tail shape. Hallmarked for Birmingham 1906 with the maker's mark for Levi & Salaman, the cushion shows slight wear to the fabric. The diminutive object measures 1.5 cm high, 1 cm wide, and 3 cm deep. Such a small decorative accessory suits placement on an office desk or within a study collection in a traditional English country house setting. The duck provides a practical sewing accessory while functioning as a small desk ornament. The solid construction allows for everyday placement on flat surfaces alongside standard desk items.

FAQs

Novelty silver pin cushions are decorative and functional sewing accessories, primarily produced during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, featuring cast silver bases shaped as animals, birds, or everyday objects.

These items are generally crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, featuring a hollow cast frame filled with a velvet, plush, or wool fabric cushion designed to hold sewing pins.

Authentic pieces usually feature clear hallmark stamps indicating the maker, purity mark, assay office, and date letter, along with hand-chased or cast detailing characteristic of late 19th and early 20th-century silver craft.

These small decorative objects function well when arranged on a dressing table tray, integrated into a curated bookshelf display, or placed alongside other silver curios on a writing desk.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and use a dedicated silver polishing cloth sparingly on the metal areas while avoiding contact with the fabric cushion to prevent staining or damp damage.
