An Edwardian sterling silver menu and card holder, dating from 1910 and made by George Unite in Birmingham. The piece takes the form of an upright cast horseshoe with square nail holes, mounted centrally on a stepped circular base that shows clear stamped British hallmarks. The bright polished silver surfaces display tiny pinprick dimples, and the weighted base provides stability. The item measures 4.5 cm high, 4.8 cm wide, and 4.8 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this piece finds its place on a dining table centre as a practical holder for menus or place cards, or serves as an alternative desk accessory for holding a small photograph. It suits a traditional English Country House aesthetic and functions well as a collectable for those with interests in equestrian or racing themes.

FAQs

An Edwardian silver menu card holder is a small tableware accessory produced between 1901 and 1910, designed to hold printed menus or place cards upright during formal dining.

These items were predominantly crafted from cast or spun sterling silver, often mounted onto solid weighted bases to provide stability on the dining table.

Authentic pieces feature full British assay hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark, a specific date letter corresponding to the Edwardian era, and a makers mark.

In modern settings, these holders can be repurposed on an office desk to display business cards, placed on a sideboard to hold photographs, or used on a dining table for dinner party place cards.

Maintain the silver by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a non-abrasive silver polish when oxidisation occurs, taking care around delicate hallmarks.
