Description
This trio of equestrian themed place-card holders are by the Pairpoint Brothers and assayed in London in 1896.
The firm is principally known as manufacturers of large and important works, such as centrepieces, presentation vases, and the like.
Consequently it is possible that this trio was manufactured as a 'flourish' to a much grander full table setting with an equestrian theme, perhaps even whimsies for the guests at an important dinner to cherish as a lasting memory. Alas we may never know...unless you have a family story to recount?

condition
Condition is very good with terminals all present and joints strong. The hallmarks are to the rear of each holder. However, as they are struck on a round form, there are some partial or mis-struck characters much as you might expect on similar items.
Please do make time to review all the pictures to gain a full appreciation of the item and its condition. Should you have any other questions in respect of either the item or its condition, please contact us and we will be pleased to assist wherever possible.
