FAQs

Novelty silver bookmarks gained popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, as mass literacy increased and reading became a widespread leisure activity, prompting silversmiths to create whimsical, miniature designs.

Antique bookmarks from this period were predominantly crafted from solid sterling silver, often featuring hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal to indicate the maker, standard of purity, and year of assay.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining the piece for clear British hallmarks, including a assay office mark, a lion passant indicating sterling standard, and a date letter corresponding to the early 20th century.

An antique silver bookmark can be displayed resting on an open vintage tome on a coffee table or desk, adding a touch of historical interest and tactile elegance to a study or living area.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive materials that can wear away historic hallmarks and fine surface detailing.
