FAQs

During the Georgian era, silver vinaigrettes were small portable containers used to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar or perfume. They were carried to mask foul odours in public spaces and to revive individuals feeling faint or unwell.

Most Georgian vinaigrettes were crafted from sterling silver, often with gold-plated or vermeil interiors. The gold wash prevented the acidic vinegar from corroding the silver casing.

Authentic pieces feature official British hallmarks stamped on both the interior base and cover, including a maker mark, silver purity mark, town mark, and date letter. Genuine vinaigrettes also possess hand-pierced internal grilles and precise, hand-fitted hinges.

These small decorative objects are ideally showcased inside glass-topped shadow boxes, styled within a cabinet of curiosities, or positioned atop stacked art books on a sideboard or desk.

The exterior silver should be gently polished with a soft cotton cloth and silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals. The gilded interior requires only dry, light dusting, as abrasive silver cleaners can strip away the delicate layer of gold vermeil.
