George III Scottish Silver and Agate Vinaigrette, Edinburgh 1810

19th century
For Sale by TJR Trading
Description

This is a Scottish George III hallmarked silver vinaigrette. It was assayed in Edinburgh in 1810 and was probably made by Richard Haxton.

It is of oval form with a hinged lid which is set with polished banded agate. The front is engraved with the initials JEG in cursive script. The gilt interior has an unmarked hinged grill drill pierced and heightened with scrolls. It is marked to the base with RH in a rectangle, standard mark, and duty mark only.

Unfortunately the grille has been broken off at the hinge as can be seen in the photographs. There is a small imperfection just above the thumbpiece. It is otherwise in good order with marks and wear commensurate with age.

Total weight 19 grams / 0.61 ozt

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Vinaigrettes were compact decorative metal containers widely used during the late 18th and 19th centuries to hold sponges saturated with aromatic liquids or smelling salts. They were carried in pockets or purses to mask unpleasant urban odours and prevent fainting.

Georgian vinaigrettes were primarily constructed from sterling silver or gold, frequently fitted with gilt interiors to prevent corrosion from acidic perfumes. Tops were often adorned with carved native stones like agate, quartz, or jasper, as well as detailed hand-engraving.

Authentic George III silver pieces typically bear hallmarks indicating the maker, city of origin, silver purity standard, and a date letter. Items from this era often feature hand-engraved monograms, precise hinge work, and period-appropriate hand craftsmanship.

Small antique silver pieces can be styled inside glass display cabinets, arranged on desktop trays, or showcased on bookshelves alongside leather-bound volumes to add historic detail to a room scheme.

Silver with inset stones should be gently wiped with a soft, dry cotton cloth or a specialised silver polishing cloth. Avoid submerging gemstone-mounted pieces in liquid cleaners, as moisture can damage internal gilding or loosen stone settings.
