FAQs

A vinaigrette is a small pocket container used during the 18th and 19th centuries to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar, which was used to mask unpleasant odours or revive someone feeling faint.

They were typically fashioned from sterling silver, often featuring gilt interiors to prevent the acidic vinegar from corroding the metal, and frequently set with semi-precious stones such as carnelian, agate, or jasper.

Authentic items typically feature period maker marks, standard silver hallmarks appropriate to the assay office and date of manufacture, and hand-pierced internal grilles with intricate floral or geometric designs.

This piece can be displayed on a small decorative tray, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or styled on a surface alongside other small historical artefacts to add a layer of curated antiquarian charm.

Antique silver should be handled with clean cotton gloves to avoid transferring skin oils, kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity, and cleaned very sparingly using non-abrasive cloths without harsh chemical polishes.
