FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING This elegant set of four Edwardian silver and tortoiseshell menu holders by William Comyns dates to 1913 and retains its original fitted retailer’s presentation box from Wilson & Gill of Regent Street, London.

Designed for use at formal dining tables, each holder incorporates a rear slot for supporting menu cards or place cards during dinner service. The rich tortoiseshell panels contrast beautifully against the polished silver mounts, reflecting the refined decorative taste associated with luxury Edwardian table accessories and entertaining pieces during the early twentieth century.

Wilson & Gill were one of London’s leading luxury retailers specialising in fine silver, dressing table accessories and presentation wares during the late Victorian and Edwardian period.

The interior of the box bears the retailer's mark 'Robert Stewart (Jewellers) Ltd, 75 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow'. A wishbone, otherwise known as the furcular, is a forked bone found in birds and some dinosaurs. The main function of the bone is to provide strength between the neck and breast, to protect the creature during battle. The Ancient Romans perceived this bone as a symbol of luck which allowed the progression of breaking a dried chicken wishbone apart whilst making a wish; this procedure determined the person with the bigger half would receive their wish or have good fortune. This tradition has travelled through Europe and is an adopted practice in many countries. Condition These impressive antique menu holders...
