FAQs

Edwardian silver menu holders and place markers gained immense popularity during the early 20th century as formal dining reached its peak of elaboration. Wealthy households utilised intricate table ornaments to indicate seating arrangements and display handwritten menus for multi-course dinners.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as stamping, casting, and hand-finishing. Silversmiths often mounted the decorative motifs onto weighted bases to ensure stability on the dining table.

Authentic pieces bear clear British hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, indicating the assay office, date letter, silver standard, and makers mark. Notable makers from the period include Sampson Mordan, known for high-quality novelty and functional table silver.

Antique silver accessories add a layer of historical contrast to contemporary dining tables or open shelving. They can be repurposed to hold modern place cards, small photographs, or recipe cards during dinner parties.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive silver cloth and specialist polish to preserve the delicate details and hallmarks. Storing pieces in tarnish-resistant cloths or controlled environments helps prevent oxidation when not on display.
