The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the early 20th century, sterling silver menu and place card holders were formal dining accessories used to display individual guest settings or dinner menus at formal banquets and private dinner parties.

These pieces were typically cast in solid sterling silver, featuring detailed sculptural motifs mounted onto weighted or flat circular bases with a retaining ring or spring clip to securely hold paper cards.

Authentic British sterling silver from the reign of King George VI bears official British hallmarks, including the lion passant for silver purity, an assay office symbol, a makers mark, and a date letter corresponding to the production year.

They can be integrated into contemporary dining settings to hold place cards, display handwritten tasting menus, or exhibit small art prints and photographs on sideboards or dining tables.

Clean gently using a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth and a non-abrasive silver polish, taking care around intricate cast details to avoid compound buildup in recessed areas.
