A charming sterling silver swan pin cushion, beautifully modelled with detailed featherwork and an elegantly curved neck.

The swan’s body forms the cushion holder, originally designed to hold a fabric pin cushion insert for use in sewing and needlework.

The piece displays fine casting detail throughout, from the textured plumage to the graceful neck and tail feathers, making it equally attractive as a decorative silver collectible.

Swan pin cushions were popular novelty sewing accessories during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods and remain highly sought after by collectors of sewing antiques and silverware.

The underside bears sterling silver hallmarks and maker’s marks.
