Description

We are delighted to offer this fabulous & collectable pair of antique Victorian salt cellars made in London, 1862 by Robert Hennell.

Distinguished and distinct, the pair feature a unique basket weave design that was a speciality of Robert Hennell's design. Presenting a very detailed, lifelike and textured surface, the basket weave design is a lovely novelty in addition to a collectable, especially as Hennell produced different articles with this same pattern, one may wish to have a uniform look.

The design is very intricate and a testament to Hennell's wares and the craftsmanship of the era - the twist rope design at each end is a lovely touch with two freely moving loop handles on each side.

The interior gilding lightly remains and offers a nice contrast to its exterior.

Overall, a lovely pair of collectable salts and exemplary of how fine craftsmanship permeates even modestly sized articles. A beautiful set, ideal for both collections or practical usage.

A full set of matching English hallmarks are present on the bottom of the salts.

FAQs

Victorian silver salt cellars from this period typically reflect historic revival styles, ornate detailing, and high craftsmanship often associated with notable silversmiths like Robert Hennell.

These items were crafted from sterling silver, frequently utilising techniques such as hand-chasing, embossing, piercing, or woven wirework to create intricate textures like basket weave designs.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarking, including the makers mark, town mark, standard mark for sterling silver, and the date letter corresponding to the specific year of assay.

They can be displayed on a sideboard, used as decorative catch-alls for small items, or incorporated into a dining table setting to add historical texture and metallic contrast.

Preservation involves gentle cleaning with a specialised silver cloth to avoid abrasive wear on fine details, storing in a tarnish-resistant environment, and avoiding harsh chemical dips.
