FAQs

Edwardian bookmarks gained popularity during the early 20th century as literacy rates rose and reading became a central leisure activity, leading to elaborate designs crafted from sterling silver and semi-precious materials.

These items were typically manufactured using sterling silver, often featuring detailed repousse work, hand-engraving, and set with coloured glass paste or genuine gemstones like amethyst to imitate regional motifs.

Authentic pieces usually bear clear silver hallmarks indicating the assay office, date letter, and makers mark, alongside period-appropriate construction methods such as riveted joints and hand-faceted stones.

An antique bookmark can be displayed resting on top of a vintage leather-bound volume on a desk, coffee table, or bookshelf to add a touch of historical character to a room.

Silver items should be cleaned sparingly with a non-abrasive silver cloth to preserve the natural patina and stored in a dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent tarnishing.
