This pair of Edwardian sterling silver menu holders take the form of detailed swans resting on circular bases with central card slots. Each piece displays finely chased feather detail on the wings, cast silver bodies, and faint hallmarks stamped near the edge of the round base. The metal possesses a polished silver finish with gentle reflective highlights across the curved surfaces. Practical for everyday dining, these items measure 5 cm high and 4.4 cm wide, making them suitable for placing menus or place cards on a dining table centre. They function well as decorative table accessories in an English Country House setting, holding cards upright between the wing-shaped backs.

FAQs

Silver menu holders were introduced during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras to display individual or communal dining menus and seating place cards at formal dinner parties.

These pieces were typically cast in solid sterling silver or silver plate, featuring weighted or flat bases and slotted clips designed to hold cardstock securely.

Authentic pieces feature official British assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark stamped into the metal.

In modern settings, these holders function as elegant place card holders for formal dinner settings, desktop photograph clips, or display stands for small artworks.

Gently wipe silver pieces with a soft cotton cloth and polish with a specialised non-abrasive silver cream to remove tarnish without wearing down intricate surface details.
