This George V period desk accessory is an antique sterling silver bookmark and page marker made by Adie & Lovekin Ltd in Birmingham during 1921. The piece takes the form of a solid silver flat blade with a slotted design and visible hallmark stamps on its surface, complemented by a decorative twisted handle with foliate and leaf carvings that terminates in a rounded finial. The silver shows a polished, reflective finish in a classic silver colour. Practical for everyday use in a home office, study, or gentleman's library, the bookmark slips between the pages of a book to hold a place during reading. It measures 8.7 cm long by 1 cm wide, making it compact enough for modern novels, journals, or ledgers kept on a desk or bedside table.

FAQs

An antique sterling silver page marker, or bookmark, is a functional personal accessory produced primarily during the 19th and early 20th centuries to hold places in books without damaging the paper pages.

These pieces were typically crafted using solid sterling silver, featuring a flat stamped or cast clip section integrated with a decorative turned, chased, or embossed handle.

Authentic British silver bookmarks feature official assay hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling silver purity, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark stamped directly onto the surface.

A silver page marker can be styled atop a stack of vintage hardcover books on a coffee table, displayed inside a glass cabinet, or arranged on an office desk alongside period writing accessories.

Remove light tarnish using a soft silver polishing cloth and avoid abrasive liquid cleaners that could wear down surface hallmarks or delicate chasing details.
