FAQs

Art Nouveau silver design, prominent from the late 1890s to 1910, is characterised by organic forms, sinuous whiplash lines, and natural motifs such as stylized flora, fauna, and human figures in profile.

Antique silver menu holders were typically produced using die-stamping or casting techniques to create high-relief decorative fronts, which were then soldered to a weighted base and a rear wire loop designed to secure card stock.

Authentic British sterling silver from the Edwardian period features a complete set of hallmarks stamped into the metal, including the lion passant mark for silver purity, an assay office symbol, a makers mark, and a specific date letter.

These functional objects can be repurposed on modern dining tables or desks to hold place cards, photographs, business cards, or small handwritten notes.

Sterling silver should be cleaned gently using a specialized silver polishing cloth or a mild silver foam wash applied with a soft sponge, avoiding abrasive chemicals that can remove natural tarnish within recessed details.
