Collectors can place them together as a decorative pairing or integrate them into a cabinet of curiosities alongside other small silverware and vertu pieces.

FAQs

Originating in the 17th and 18th centuries, silver rattles were luxury nursery items crafted for affluent families, often incorporating whistles, small bells, and teething handles made of bone or mother-of-pearl.

These rattles were predominantly constructed from chased or repousse sterling silver, frequently fitted with small suspended bells, an integral whistle, and natural materials like coral, bone, or mother-of-pearl for teething.

Genuine period examples typically feature hallmarks on the silver body or socket, hand-chased foliage or scroll motifs, period-correct construction seams, and genuine hand-carved organic handles.

These delicate silver objects style well placed inside a glass cloche, presented on a velvet-lined display tray, or arranged on a library bookshelf alongside other antique curiosities.

Polish the silver sections gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver cleaner, taking care to avoid getting liquid polish on organic elements like bone or mother-of-pearl.
