FAQs

Menu holders gained popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras as formal dining evolved into multi-course service. Placed alongside individual settings or at the centre of the table, these small silver items held printed menus or guest place cards to guide formal dinner seating.

Silver menu holders were predominantly cast in sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring weighted or stamped bases for stability. Castings were detailed using hand-chasing techniques to create intricate relief designs such as vessels, animals, or family crests.

Authenticity is verified by examining assay office hallmarks, makers marks, and date letters stamped directly onto the metal base or body. Genuine silver pieces display age-appropriate surface wear, distinct casting lines, and sharp stampings rather than faint modern reproductions.

These versatile small objects can be placed on dining tables to hold place names during dinner parties, or repurposed on an office desk or mantelpiece to display photographs, business cards, or small art prints.

Silver menu holders should be dusted regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and cleaned using a specialist non-abrasive silver polish when oxidisation occurs. Avoid immersing pieces with felt or fabric backings in water to prevent damage to internal construction.
