FAQs

Georgian silver salt cellars date from the reigns of the four King Georges (1714-1830), a period marked by refined dining customs where individual salts became essential tabletop items.

They were traditionally crafted from sterling silver, often featuring pierced or cast openwork frames, and paired with hand-blown cobalt blue glass liners to protect the metal from corrosion.

Authentic pieces typically feature British hallmarks stamped with the makers mark, lion passant for sterling standard, leopards head for London, and a date letter indicating the exact year of assay.

They can be displayed on a sideboard, used as small catchalls for rings on a dressing table, or integrated into a dining table setting to add historical contrast to contemporary dinnerware.

Clean the silver gently using a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth, avoiding contact with the glass liners during polishing, and store them in a dry environment to prevent tarnishing.
