Antique Silver Perpetual Desk Calendar

1900 - 1920
For Sale by In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors (Reserved for a buyer)
Description

A lovely antique desk calendar in a solid silver frame with an oak easel back. It has a series of cards inside, each containing a year's worth of dates, and these can be corresponded with the days of the week cards to provide a full year. There is even an option for leap years.

It is an unusual model and nice that it displays a full year at a time, rather than most that display only a month.

The frame is clearly hallmarked for London, 1912 and it has engraved initials in one corner "G.M.W".

It's in good condition for its age. The silver frame has some small dinks and marks here and there (see photos) but nothing major. There is some discolouration and minor losses to the paper cards but nothing detrimental and overall it displays well. It has been lightly cleaned and polished and is ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

A perpetual desk calendar is a reusable date-keeping display designed to calculate the day of the week for any given date across multiple years. Popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these desktop items eliminated the need to purchase annual paper calendars.

Traditional perpetual desk calendars were commonly constructed using sterling silver, silver plate, brass, or nickel-plated metals to frame paper, celluloid, or bone printed inserts. The frames frequently featured easel backs or weighted bases for stable desktop placement.

Authentic examples typically feature hallmarks or makers marks stamped onto the metal casing alongside genuine signs of age such as natural oxidisation and light wear on paper inserts. Construction details like hand-engraved monograms and traditional easel backs also indicate period authenticity.

Place the calendar alongside contemporary brass or leather desk accoutrements to add historical texture to a modern office. It functions effectively on executive desks, bookshelves, or side tables as a functional decorative object.

Gently wipe the silver frame with a soft cotton cloth and specialist silver polish, avoiding contact with paper or celluloid components. Store away from direct sunlight and high humidity to protect printed cards from fading and moisture damage.
