The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Popularised in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, trowel bookmarks are silver page markers shaped like miniature masons trowels, often featuring decorative gemstone or agate handles.

Edwardian bookmarks were commonly crafted from sterling silver, mother-of-pearl, tortoiseshell, and semi-precious stones such as Scottish agate or jasper, joined with soldered silver mountings.

Authentic pieces typically bear British assay hallmarks indicating the maker, city, silver standard, and date letter, alongside period-appropriate construction and light wear along functional clip edges.

An antique silver bookmark can be styled on a stack of hardcover books upon a desk, displayed inside a glass shadow box, or arranged on a leather blotter as a functional decorative object.

Silver elements should be polished gently with a dry microfibre silver cloth, avoiding chemical dips that could seep into handle settings or alter natural agate surfaces.
