Description

A stunningly beautiful Victorian Scottish silver gilt agate vinaigrette. Made in Scotland, probably Edinburgh, around 1850. As usual with small silver items made in Victorian times it is not hallmarked as it was not required in Scotland. Both the top and bottom agates are in excellent condition as is the rest of the vinaigrette. The grill is intricately fret cut with flowers and is also gilded. A wonderful piece that would be the star of any collection.

WEIGHT; 30 grams approx

Free delivery in the UK. Payment by bank transfer, card over the phone, PayPal or Klarna. Using Klarna payments can be split over three months

FAQs

A vinaigrette is a small, portable container popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, featuring an internal pierced grille designed to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar or perfume.

These items are typically constructed from silver, often with a layer of gold wash known as silver gilt or vermeil, and frequently inlaid with natural hardstones such as Scottish agate or bloodstone.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmark stamps for metal purity and makers marks, checking the precision of the interior pierced grille hinge, and verifying natural inclusions within the hardstone lid.

These decorative objects work well displayed on small surfaces like mantelpieces or within glass cabinets, adding historical texture and metallic detail to a room.

Silver gilt should be cleaned extremely gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to avoid wearing away the delicate gold wash, and kept away from moisture and chemical polishes.
