FAQs

Figural silver pin cushions gained immense popularity in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, often crafted by renowned silversmiths as both functional sewing accessories and novelty desk ornaments.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from hallmarked sterling silver casings fitted with a plush fabric insert, most commonly velvet, silk, or mohair.

Authentication involves examining the item for clear hallmarks indicating the makers mark, sterling standard, assay office, and date letter, alongside assessing the wear on the internal stuffing and the quality of the silver casting.

This piece can be styled as a distinctive accent object on a bookshelf, a desk, or a mantelpiece, adding a touch of historical charm to traditional and eclectic interiors.

Preservation requires gentle dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and occasional careful polishing with a non-abrasive silver cleaner, taking care to avoid soaking the fabric insert.
