Set of 24 Thai or Tibetan Silver Plated Dancer Place Card or Menu Holders

About the Item

This set of twenty four silver plated place card or menu holders are unsigned, but presumed to have been made in Asia in approximately 1960 in a Tibetan style. The holders are composed of a stamped metal which has been silver plated and heavily weighted with lead. The set is composed of twelve female and twelve male Thai dancers with engraved details and have strong clip backs that hold the cards or menus. An interesting note is that the holders were once owned by a diplomat from from Canada posted in Asia and were brought back to Canada in period 'High Commission of Canada' envelopes. It is not known if these silver plated holders were used for a special occasion or purchased as a souvenir.
