FAQs

Bridge markers are small utilitarian objects used during card games, particularly contract bridge, to indicate the current trump suit. They gained significant popularity during the 1920s and 1930s alongside the global craze for the game.

They were typically fashioned from sterling silver, plated metals, or enamel, often featuring swinging panels made of celluloid, bone, or ivorine to display the suit or designation.

Authenticity is generally verified through clear British hallmarks stamped on the metal base indicating the makers mark, silver standard, assay office, and date letter, alongside period-appropriate typography on the panels.

These small objects serve as charming curiosities on a bookshelf, coffee table, or desk, adding a touch of vintage sophistication and conversational historical interest to a room.

Silver components should be cleaned gently using a non-abrasive microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals that might damage organic insert panels such as bone or celluloid.
