FAQs

Place card holders, also known as menu holders or place name stands, became popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Crafted in solid sterling silver, these functional dining accessories were placed at individual table settings to hold formal name cards or menus during multi-course dinner parties.

Edwardian place card holders were primarily cast or struck from sterling silver (925 purity) and frequently feature weighted or flat oval bases for stability. Figures and decorative motifs were cast separately and soldered onto the support structure.

Authentic British pieces bear official assay hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for sterling silver, a town mark, a date letter representing the year of manufacture, and a makers mark. Pieces from 1906 display specific date letter combinations corresponding to the assay office where they were tested.

These items can be used for formal dining arrangements, adapted as place-setting markers for events, or repurposed to display small botanical illustrations, family photographs, or business cards on a desk or sideboard.

Silver accessories should be polished periodically using a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver polish to remove tarnish and oxidisation. Avoid submersing pieces with felt or fabric backing in water, and store them in tarnish-resistant cloth bags when not in use.
