FAQs

Novelty sterling silver menu holders became fashionable during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods as formal multi-course dining required printed cards for menus and seating assignments. Silversmiths created whimsical and themed designs, including sporting and equestrian motifs, to reflect the interests of the host.

These items were typically cast or stamped from sterling silver, featuring a central decorative motif attached to a weighted or curved wire base to maintain stability on a linen tablecloth.

Authentic British pieces bear official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark, a makers mark, and a specific date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

While originally used on formal dining tables, these pieces can be repurposed on an office desk as name card or photo displays, or arranged on a sideboard as decorative equestrian accents.

Clean silver items gently using a silver polishing cloth or a specialised silver cream, drying thoroughly with a microfibre cloth to prevent tarnish and water spotting.
