Description

These exceptional antique George V cast sterling silver menu/card holders have been realistically modelled in the form of a fox in an outstretched position and a vixen in an upright stance.

The holders are embellished with cast ornamentation reproducing the fine definition of each fox's and vixen's fur and anatomical features.

These substantial antique silver menu holders are supported by a rectangular base embellished with a terrain texture.

These impressive set of antique menu holders are fitted to the original hinged leatherette box with satin and velvet lined interior, secured with a push fit catch.

The interior of the box cover bears the retailer's mark 'Garrard & Co Ltd, Goldsmiths Jewellers &c, to the King By Special Appointment to the Crown, 24 Albemarle St W'.

These highly desirable examples of hunting related silverware were crafted by the renowned and collectable London silversmiths Garrard & Co Ltd.

Condition

These antique menu holders are a superior gauge of silver, superior quality and in exceptional condition.

The cast decoration to each is very sharp.

There are some minor blemishes to the interior cover of the original box, however it can be considered to be in presentation condition in keeping with age.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface of each cast model and part hallmarks to the underside of the base are all very clear; the hallmarks are deeply struck due to the superior gauge of silver.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these pieces of antique silverware.
