FAQs

The pointing hand motif, often referred to as a fides or manicule, has roots dating back to the Georgian and Victorian eras, frequently symbolising guidance, direction, or affection in personal items.

Edwardian bookmarks were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, brass, mother-of-pearl, and occasionally leather or silk, often featuring hallmarking to verify metal purity.

Authentic pieces from the Edwardian period typically feature British hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, including a makers mark, the standard mark for sterling silver, a town mark, and a date letter.

Small antique silver objects can be displayed on open bookshelves, styled on a coffee table atop art books, or incorporated into a home office desk vignette to add texture and historical interest.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive silver cloth to maintain the natural oxidisation in recessed details, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the patina.
