FAQs

Menu holders became popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras as formal dining grew increasingly elaborate, requiring designated card stands to inform guests of multi-course meal sequences.

These items were typically crafted from sterling silver using casting, stamping, and hallmark stamping techniques, often featuring weighted bases and hinged support mechanisms.

Authentic pieces bear clear British hallmarks indicating the assay office, date letter, silver standard, and makers mark, such as those associated with Sampson Mordan.

They can be repurposed as small display objects on a mantelpiece, used to hold photographs or place cards during dinner parties, or showcased within a glass cabinet.

Clean gently with a specialised microfibre cloth and a mild, non-abrasive silver polish only when necessary, storing them in a tarnish-resistant cloth to protect the metal finish.
