FAQs

An antique silver vinaigrette is a small container historically used to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar, carried to mask unpleasant odours.

Hanau silver pieces were typically crafted from sterling grade silver, utilising detailed repousse, chasing, and casting techniques to emulate earlier historical styles.

Authentic pieces often feature pseudo-hallmarks or German export marks rather than official British sterling marks, combined with characteristic high-relief decorative chasing.

These pieces function well as curated desk accessories, tabletop focal points in cabinets of curiosities, or displayed on a silver tray alongside other small items.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly with a non-abrasive silver cloth to maintain the patina, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage intricate recessed details.
