Levi & Salaman Silver Pheasant Pin Cushion

This rare Edwardian novelty silver pin cushion, hallmarked in Chester 1905, is modeled as a standing cock pheasant with an intricately detailed cast silver body. Crafted by the renowned Birmingham firm Levi & Salaman, the piece exemplifies the "golden age" of silver novelties where everyday sewing accessories were transformed into miniature works of art. The pheasant's back holds the original velvet cushion, while the rest of the figure showcases realistic feathering, a characteristic long tail, and a well defined head. Levi & Salaman are highly collected for these animal themed cushions, and the 1905 Chester hallmark adds significant value, as the firm predominantly worked in Birmingham.
