FAQs

Edwardian silver gilt menu holders are decorative tabletop items made from silver covered with a thin layer of gold, designed to hold dining menus upright on formal tables during the Edwardian era.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver using casting and chasing techniques, then finished with parcel gilding or full gilding to create the gold appearance.

Authentic pieces feature British hallmarks stamped into the metal, indicating the assay office, date letter, and makers mark corresponding to the early 20th century.

They can be displayed on a dining table center, inside a glass cabinet, or on a mantelpiece as small decorative objects of curiosity.

Silver gilt should be cleaned very gently with a soft microfibre cloth without harsh silver dips or abrasive polishes, as these can strip away the delicate gold layer.
