About the Item

Superb silver-plated menu holder dating from the early 20th century, made especially for the Hôtel de l’Europe. The stand is finely crafted in the shape of a standing bird, elegantly sculpted, resting on a circular base engraved with the name of the establishment. The bird’s beak serves as the holder for the menu. This menu holder embodies the refinement of fine dining in the prestigious hotels of the Belle Époque. Both decorative and functional, it was used to display menus, cards, or presentation documents. A rare and historic piece, perfect for a collection, a charming decorative touch, or to revive the elegance of the great French hospitality houses of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
