A Set of 8 Modernist Menu Holders by Christopher LawrenceSOLD

These beautiful silver gilt place card/ name card holders (usually referred to in the trade as menu holders, somewhat erroneously in my opinion!) are made by the renowned post war designer Christopher Lawrence. They are initialled with a W, but this is shallow and could be removed if the customer so desired- email me for a quote.

I'm afraid the marks are so tiny I did not manage to get a really decent picture. They are marked CNL (Christopher Nigel Lawrence) and London 1985.

Each place card holder measures 2.5cm long by 2cm tall and the total weight of this lot is 109g.


Type: Menu Holders
Function: Dining
Maker: Christopher Lawrence
Country: England
