FAQs

A vinaigrette is a small container historically used to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar, carried in pockets or reticules during the 18th and 19th centuries to mask unpleasant odours.

These pieces are typically crafted from silver, often gilt on the interior, and decorated using techniques such as guilloche enamelling and intricate pierced silver grilles.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmarks, the quality of the hand-applied enamel work, the precision of the interior pierced grill, and signs of age-appropriate wear on the silver.

Such decorative items are often displayed on mantelpieces, vanity trays, or within glass cabinets to highlight their intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colour.

Preservation involves storing them away from direct sunlight to protect the enamel, avoiding harsh chemical silver dips, and cleaning gently with a soft microfibre cloth.
