An Edwardian novelty hatching chick silver pin cushion by Samson & Mordan.
Samson and Mordan were influential Victorian silversmiths and retailers working in London during the mid nineteenth century. Trading as Samson & Mordan, and later Samson Mordan & Co., they became known for finely made small silver objects, including vinaigrettes, scent bottles, card cases, and novelty items.
Their work combined precise engineering with elegant ornament, reflecting the period's taste for functional luxury. The firm also built on Sampson Mordan's innovations in mechanical pencils and portable metal goods.
Today, pieces bearing their marks are valued by collectors for craftsmanship, ingenuity, and historical significance within museums, auctions, and private collections worldwide today often.
