This Edwardian bookmark dates from the 1910 period and takes the form of a solid sterling silver and mother of pearl page marker. The piece displays a silver blade featuring an engraved triskelion motif, legible hallmarks, and a pointed tip alongside a cut-out inner outline. A tapered cream mother of pearl handle connects to the metal blade via a decorative fluted silver mount with a textured central band. The solid sterling silver blade bears clear maker marks and assay stamps near the upper edge, while the smooth cream handle exhibits a lustrous finish. Measuring 7.6 cm in length, this pocket-sized accessory suits placement on a gentleman's library desk or within a study. A reader uses the page marker to hold a place in a book, slipping the silver clip over the pages while holding the handle for placement. The compact tool rests easily amongst stationery and writing equipment, offering a traditional reading accessory for a home office.

FAQs

Antique silver page markers are small, decorative reading accessories crafted from precious metals, designed to slide onto a page clip to mark a readers place without damaging paper.

Edwardian bookmarks were commonly constructed using sterling silver, often combined with natural organic materials such as mother of pearl, bone, or tortoiseshell for handles.

Authentic British Edwardian silver features official assay office hallmarks, including the sterling silver purity mark, town mark, date letter, and makers mark.

An antique silver page marker can be displayed flat on a stack of art books, placed on an office desk, or showcased inside a glass specimen case.

Silver should be wiped gently with a soft jewellery polishing cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals that could loosen or degrade the mother of pearl component.
