FAQs

An aide-memoire is a small pocket-sized notebook or memorandum book, popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries, used for recording appointments, notes, or dance programmes at social events.

These pocket cases were typically crafted from sterling silver, often featuring internal ivory or paper writing tablets, silk linings, and occasionally fitted with a pencil and chain.

Authentic pieces bear a series of punch marks including a makers mark, a standard mark such as the lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark indicating Chester (usually three sheaves of wheat with a sword), and a date letter corresponding to the year of assay.

Such small collectables are well-suited for display within glass-fronted cabinets, on desk trays, or integrated into a curated tablescape alongside other antique desk accessories.

Sterling silver should be stored in a dry, tarnish-resistant environment, handled with clean hands or cotton gloves to prevent skin oils from causing oxidation, and polished sparingly using a soft, non-abrasive cloth specifically formulated for silver.
