FAQs

An Edwardian silver pin cushion is a small decorative sewing accessory produced in Britain during the Edwardian period, often cast in whimsical animal shapes to appeal to the Victorian and Edwardian taste for novelty items.

These items were typically manufactured from sterling silver using processes such as casting, chasing, and hand-engraving, with the interior filled with cork or sawdust and covered in plush fabric or velvet to hold pins.

Authenticity is determined by checking for clear British hallmarksincluding a makers mark, standard mark indicating sterling silver, assay office mark, and date letteralongside period-appropriate wear and construction techniques.

These small objects make ideal desk or tabletop accessories, adding a touch of historical character and refined metallic detail when displayed on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or side table.

Preservation involves storing them in a dry environment away from direct sunlight to protect the fabric insert, and cleaning the silver sparingly with a soft microfibre cloth without using harsh chemical polishes.
