FAQs

Victorian silver pin cushions are small decorative and functional items manufactured during the 19th century, often shaped as novelty objects such as animals, shoes, or miniature furniture to serve as sewing accessories on a dressing table.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver or continental silver, featuring filled or hollow bases, with upholstered seat sections consisting of wool, velvet, or plush fabrics designed to hold pins and needles securely.

Authentic pieces usually bear period hallmark stamps indicating the makers mark, metal purity, assay office, and date letter, alongside traditional hand-soldered construction techniques characteristic of 19th-century silversmithing.

This type of miniature object is typically displayed as part of a curated collection on a mantelpiece, within a glass display cabinet, or on a dressing table alongside other antique silver trinkets.

Silver components require periodic gentle cleaning with a specialist microfibre cloth and non-abrasive polish to remove tarnish, while the fabric cushion should be kept dry and protected from direct sunlight to prevent deterioration.
