This Edwardian pin cushion takes the form of a novelty shoe and dates to 1902, bearing the maker's mark of Sibray Hall & Co from London. It is made from silver and features a polished finish, a pointed toe shape, and a decorative silver bow motif across the vamp. A plush navy blue velvet cushion insert fills the upper opening, complemented by original heavy construction. The piece measures 5.5 cm in height, 4 cm in width, and 14 cm in length. Suitable for practical use or decorative display in a traditional interior, this accessory fits neatly upon a bookshelf, dressing table, or desk. It functions effectively as a desktop trinket holder or a collector's curiosity, bringing period character to an English country house setting while remaining a useful desktop item for pins and small notions.

FAQs

An antique silver shoe pin cushion is a decorative sewing accoutrement shaped in the form of a shoe, shoe slipper, or heel, cast in silver or silver plate and fitted with a textile cushion to hold needles and pins.

These pieces typically consist of a cast or stamped sterling silver or silver-plated shell filled with a dense material, topped with a crushed velvet, silk, or satin insert designed to hold pins securely.

Authentic period pieces usually feature British hallmarks indicating the silver standard, maker, assay office, and date letter, alongside weighted bases and hand-stitched velvet or silk inserts.

These items can be displayed on a dressing table, incorporated into a curated tray set-up on an office desk, or arranged alongside decorative books on a shelf.

Clean the silver metal exterior carefully using a soft silver polishing cloth, taking care not to let liquid polish contact or stain the delicate textile cushion insert.
