FAQs

A vinaigrette is a small ornamental container used during the 18th and 19th centuries to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar, designed to be carried to mask unpleasant odours.

These boxes are traditionally crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as casting, engine-turning, and hand-engraving, featuring an internal pierced grille.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped on the metal, indicating the makers mark, assay office, standard mark, and date letter.

Such small decorative items are typically displayed on a mantelpiece, inside a glass cabinet, or atop a dressing table as a focal point of historical interest.

Preservation requires minimal cleaning with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips to protect the aged patina and delicate engraved details.
