FAQs

Antique silver menu holders were popular tabletop accessories during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, designed to display individual dinner menus or guest place cards at formal dinner parties.

These items were generally cast in sterling silver or silver plate, featuring weighted or circular stepped bases for stability and detailed figural motifs attached to card support clips.

Authentic pieces usually bear official silver hallmarks indicating the maker, purity, assay office, and year of manufacture, along with characteristic cast details and age-appropriate surface wear.

In contemporary spaces, these small figural objects can be styled on a dining table centre, display cabinet shelf, or writing desk to hold place cards, photographs, or small art prints.

Clean gentle tarnish using a soft, lint-free cotton cloth and a specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage fine cast details or remove natural oxidisation in carved crevices.
