How were menu holders used?

Hosts placed menu holders on dining tables to inform guests of the courses being served. They held printed cards upright between guests. Many examples take figural forms such as owls, swans, and monkeys playing instruments.

How do I identify the date of a piece?

English silver carries a series of stamped hallmarks that indicate the assay office, standard of silver, and a specific date letter. Additional maker marks identify the silversmith or workshop. Comparing these stamps against official registry records reveals the exact year of manufacture.

How should silver table accessories be stored?

Silver benefits from regular use and gentle cleaning with specialised cloths to prevent tarnish accumulation. Keeping items in lined boxes protects them from surface scratches. Avoid exposure to rubber and certain treated woods which accelerate tarnishing.
