FAQs

Menu holders gained popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries as formal dining became an elaborate affair in high-society households, requiring designated places for guests to view multi-course menus.

These pieces were typically crafted from solid sterling silver using traditional silversmithing techniques such as casting, stamping, and hand-polishing, often bearing distinct makers marks and hallmarks.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks for the makers mark, sterling silver standard symbols, assay office stamps, and date letters, alongside observing natural patina and weight.

They can be displayed on a sideboard, incorporated into a formal tablescape for dinner parties, or showcased within a glass-front cabinet as part of a curated silver collection.

Preservation involves storing pieces in tarnish-resistant cloths, minimising exposure to moisture and harsh chemicals, and occasionally cleaning with a non-abrasive silver cloth or specialised polish.
