FAQs

Silver salt cellars, often crafted in open bowl forms with gilded interiors, were essential table accessories during the Georgian and Regency periods used to serve dry salt before salt shakers became widespread.

Salt reacts with sterling silver, causing rapid corrosion and tarnish, so silversmiths applied a protective layer of gold wash, known as vermeil, to the interior of the bowl.

Authentic Paul Storr pieces feature distinct British hallmarks, including his specific makers mark, the lion passant indicating sterling purity, and a date letter corresponding to the early nineteenth century.

These vessels can be positioned on a formal dining table for serving finishing salts and spices, or arranged on a sideboard as decorative historical metalwork.

Clean the exterior silver with a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver polish, while wiping the gilded interior gently with warm soapy water to avoid wearing down the gold layer.
