Antique Edwardian Sterling Silver ‘Chick’ Pin Cushion

About the Item

A fine and impressive antique Edwardian sterling silver pin cushion modelled in the form of a chick; an addition to our animal related silverware collection. This fine antique Edwardian sterling silver pin cushion has been realistically modelled in the form of a chick. The hallmarked sterling silver head is embellished with chased decoration reproducing the fine details of this adolescent birds’s plumage and facial features. The body of the chick is comprised of the original cushion. This antique silver pin cushion is supported by two feet/claws surmounting a circular rounded filled base which retains the original leatherette covering to the underside. Period pieces retaining the original cushion bodies are becoming increasingly difficult to locate. Condition This antique pin cushion is a very good gauge of silver, very good quality and in excellent condition. The cushion shows sign of wear in keeping with age and use. Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the base and part hallmarks to the head are all very clear. Dimensions: Length 5.2cm/2". Width 2.7cm/1.1". Height 4.6cm/1.8". Weight An accurate weight cannot be provided as this antique silver pin cushion has a filled base. Maker: Cohen & Charles. Origin: Birmingham, England. Date: 1909. Video: A video of this fine piece is available upon request. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of Edwardian silverware.
