FAQs

During the Georgian period, whole nutmegs were an expensive luxury and status symbol. Diners carried portable pocket graters to freshly grate spice into food and alcoholic beverages at the table.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver featuring chased or engraved decoration, fitted with an internal steel rasp plate for grating the hard spice nuts.

Authentic pieces usually bear British sterling silver hallmarks, including a makers mark and the lion passant, alongside hand-engraved surface patterns characteristic of 18th and early 19th-century silversmithing.

Small antique silver pieces make excellent cabinet curiosities or desktop items, displayed alongside other Georgian silver or small objects of horology.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly with a non-abrasive silver cloth to preserve patination and historical hallmarks, avoiding harsh chemical dips that strip away age-related oxidisation.
