Made by the crown jewellers, Garrard & Co, this is a rare and wonderful pair of sterling silver menu holders or place card holders featuring a silver polo mallet and ball. This polo-themed pair has been made in a particularly heavy gauge of silver and the detailing of the mallet is crisp. The frosted bases contrast nicely with the brightly polished polo sticks or mallets and balls. The perfect gift for a lover of polo!

As a fine and traditional addition to fine dining, it was the Victorians who first introduced menu holders to our dining tables. Silver menu holders and place card holders were first created to hold a card displaying the menu and, rather than putting a place card holder and name in front of each diner as we often do today, silver menu holders were spread and passed around the dining table.
