FAQs

Menu holders became popular table accessories during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods as formal, multi-course dinners grew in elaborateness, requiring individual menus at each place setting.

These pieces were typically cast in sterling silver using the lost-wax method or pressed in metal moulds, and often finished with a layer of gold wash, known as silver gilt or vermeil.

Authentic pieces feature clear British hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, indicating the assay office, date letter, and sterling silver standard, alongside a makers mark.

They can be repurposed as small decorative accents on a mantelpiece or bookshelf, or utilised in their original function during formal dinner parties to hold place cards or menus.

Silver gilt items require gentle dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and should be kept away from harsh silver dips or abrasive polishes, which can strip the delicate gold layer.
