FAQs

Novelty silver pin cushions are small, decorative sewing implements shaped as animals, birds, and everyday objects, which reached the height of their popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods in Britain.

These pieces are typically crafted from sterling silver using stamping or casting techniques, fitted with a weighted interior, and upholstered with plush velvet, plush mohair, or silk satin inserts.

Authenticity is determined by checking for clear British hallmarks, makers marks such as those of Sampson Mordan, detailed hand-chased feather or surface texturing, and period-correct upholstery materials.

These miniature silver objects work well as curated display items on a mantelpiece, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or styled on a desk alongside other small collectables.

Silver should be cleaned gently with a specialist microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage the textile insert, and kept in a stable environment away from excessive moisture.
