An Edwardian set of four sterling silver menu holders rests inside an original blue velvet-lined presentation box with a cream silk lining on the inner lid. Each circular piece displays an embossed high-relief classical maiden profile with an Art Nouveau hair motif and a flat circular base. The silver elements present a bright reflective finish, while the storage box features a dark navy blue exterior with a metal clasp on the front edge and a hinge visible at the back. Both the menu holders and their protective case survive in very good original condition. Each circular holder measures 2.5 cm in diameter with a base width of 3.2 cm. Set these table accessories upon a dining table center to hold place cards or menu descriptions during formal dinner parties. The fitted box allows for safe storage in a sideboard drawer or display cabinet when not in use.

FAQs

Silver menu holders were popular table accessories during late Victorian and Edwardian formal dinners, designed to display printed multi-course menus or individual guest place cards at the dining table.

These items were typically cast or stamped in sterling silver, featuring weighted or flat disc bases for stability, and were frequently retailed in silk- and velvet-lined fitted presentation cases.

Authentic British silver pieces carry official hallmarks, including the lion passant standard mark for sterling purity, an assay office symbol, a specific date letter code matching 19011910, and a registered makers mark.

These historical accessories can be integrated into contemporary table settings as place card holders for dinner parties, repurposed as botanical label stands, or displayed inside glass cabinet vitrines.

Clean silver using a specialised soft cotton polishing cloth and mild silver polish, avoiding abrasive materials that strip detail, and store in non-tarnish cloth or their original lined presentation box.
