FAQs

Menu holders became popular during the Victorian and Edwardian periods as formal dining grew increasingly elaborate, requiring designated markers for multi-course meals.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, often featuring weighted bases filled with resin or plaster to ensure stability, sometimes accented with enamel or gilt details.

Authenticity is determined by checking for clear hallmarks, including the makers mark (such as Sampson Mordans initials), the standard mark, the town assay office mark, and the date letter.

They can be repurposed as small decorative accents on a bookshelf, displayed within a glass cabinet, or utilized during formal dinner parties to hold place cards or notes.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialized, non-abrasive silver cloth to preserve the patina, avoiding harsh liquid dips that can damage weighted bases or intricate details.
