An antique pair of George V sterling silver menu and place card holders, dating from 1913, originates from the London workshop of Stewart Dawson & Co. Ltd.

They make useful additions to a collection and look interesting displayed on a dining table centre during formal dinner parties and family meals.

FAQs

Antique silver menu card holders are decorative dining accessories designed during the late Victorian and early 20th-century eras to present written menus or guest seating names on formal dining tables.

Menu holders from the George V period were predominantly crafted from solid sterling silver, often hallmarked by British assay offices, featuring flat-cut or cast decorative motifs mounted on circular or oval silver bases.

Authentic pieces carry British hallmarks stamped directly onto the silver surface, including the lion passant mark for sterling purity, an assay city mark, a makers mark, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year of manufacture.

These items can be utilized on formal dinner tables to hold place name cards or tailored menus, displayed on sideboards as small decorative silver objects, or used to hold small family photographs.

Maintain silver menu holders by wiping them gently with a specialized silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical dips or abrasive creams that can compromise delicate details or hallmarks.
