This Edwardian set comprises four sterling silver salt cellars with matching spoons, housed together in an original presentation case measuring 4 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 20 cm deep. Each piece exhibits sterling silver construction with a polished silver finish, complemented by gilded interiors within the salt bowls and spoon bowls. The rectangular leather case contains a navy blue velvet lining and a padded cream silk lid interior stamped with gold lettering, while the individual salt cellars stand on circular pedestal bases with flared rims and the spoons display scalloped handles. Ideal for display on a sideboard top in a traditional dining room, the salt cellars and spoons provide a functional table setting addition during formal dinners. The matched set brings period Edwardian character to an English country house interior, serving as practical tableware for dining service or as a decorative presentation grouping when stored inside its fitted case.

FAQs

Open salt cellars have been used since classical antiquity to hold loose salt at the dining table, evolving into prominent status symbols during the Georgian and Victorian eras. By the early 20th century, cased sets containing multiple small salts and matching spoons became popular gifts for dining service.

Edwardian silver salt cellars were typically crafted from hallmarked sterling silver, using techniques such as spinning, casting, and hand-raising. Sets were frequently fitted into bespoke presentation boxes crafted from wood, lined with silk and velvet, and covered in leather or faux leather.

Authentic British sterling silver items feature a complete set of hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for silver purity, an assay office symbol (such as the leopards head for London), a makers mark, and a specific date letter corresponding to 1909.

Cased silver salt sets can be displayed open on a dining room sideboard or inside a glass cabinet to highlight the original presentation box and polished silverwork. Alternatively, individual salts and spoons can be integrated into contemporary table settings during formal dinner service.

Silver salts should be washed promptly after use to prevent salt corrosion, thoroughly dried, and polished with a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver foam. Store items inside their original felt or velvet-lined case in a dry environment away from high humidity to minimize oxidisation.
