Circa 1905 Fine Quality and Unusual Sterling Silver Set of 12 Menu or Place Card Holders.

1900 - 1920
Description

Circa 1905 American sterling silver set of 12 arched form menu, name or place card holders made by the Schofield Company of Baltimore, Maryland. American sterling silver is .925 fine, exactly the same as English silver content.

It is very unusual to get a full set of 12 menu or card holders, which will accommodate a large dinner party.

These arch form holders have a combination of smooth and matt engraved detail to the arched shape.

Size-1 3/8 inches long by just over .75 inches high.

Weight-80 grams.

A lovely and unusual set in very good condition, which will look elegant and stylish on the dining table.

A set as large as this is very difficult to find. I have never seen another.

Declaration

Serpentine Antiques has dated these Edwardian Silver Menu Holders to the 1900s.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the Edwardian era, formal multi-course dinners required clear organisation. Silver menu and place card holders were placed on dining tables to hold printed menus or indicate assigned seating for guests.

High-grade pieces were crafted from solid sterling silver, stamped with British hallmarks. Base metals such as electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) were also used for everyday household items.

Authentic British sterling silver pieces feature a full set of hallmarks, including the lion passant mark, a town mark, a date letter corresponding to 19011910, and a makers mark.

These accessories can be integrated into modern dinner settings to support place cards, used on a desk to hold business cards, or displayed on a sideboard as historical decorative objects.

Silver should be cleaned using a soft cloth and a specialized non-abrasive silver polish to remove tarnish. Avoid dishwasher cleaning and store pieces in anti-tarnish cloth bags when not in use.
