FAQs

An Edwardian posy holder is a small silver vessel designed to hold water and small flowers, worn on a lapel or dress during the early 20th century to keep floral decorations fresh throughout formal events.

These holders were primarily constructed from solid sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring drawn tubular bodies and flared edges to retain stems securely.

Authentic pieces feature official British hallmarks denoting the silver purity, assay office, and date letter corresponding to the Edwardian period between 1901 and 1910.

While originally designed as formal attire accessories, these pieces can be displayed within shadow boxes, incorporated into vanity table displays, or worn for traditional weddings and ceremonies.

Clean gently using a soft, lint-free silver cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to preserve the metal finish.
