This Edwardian solid sterling silver menu holder is an Art Nouveau piece designed in a silver colour with a polished finish. A circular relief depicting a maiden's profile with detailed hair and flowing whiplash scrolls sits inside an oval ring mounted upon a smooth domed base. Visible hallmarks, maker's marks, and minor surface wear appear near the lower edge of the base. The piece measures 4.7 cm across the base by 4 cm tall and weighs 23 grams. Place this item on a dining table centre during formal dinners or holiday gatherings to hold place cards or menus. It functions well as a decorative tabletop accessory in a traditional dining room or an English country house interior.

FAQs

Emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Art Nouveau silver menu holders feature sinuous organic forms, stylised floral motifs, and figurative depictions, designed as decorative functional accents for formal dining tables.

These table accessories are predominantly crafted from sterling silver containing 92.5 percent silver content alloyed with copper, featuring loaded or weighted bases to maintain stability when supporting paper cards.

Authentic British sterling silver items feature stamped assay hallmarks, including the lion passant mark, a town mark, a specific year letter code, and the registered sponsor or makers mark on the base or frame.

Beyond formal dinner settings, these small silver holders function effectively on office desks for holding business cards or note papers, or on sideboards to display small art prints and photograph cards.

Maintain sterling silver by wiping regularly with a microfibre cloth and applying specialised silver polish when needed, avoiding immersion techniques or abrasive scrubbers that can erode raised relief detail or oxidisation.
