The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Boat-shaped open salt cellars, often crafted in Neoclassical or Georgian designs, were designed to hold loose salt on formal dining tables before the invention of modern free-flowing salt shakers. Their elongated oval profile and pierced lattice work reflected the architectural and classical tastes of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Salt is highly corrosive to silver and causes severe pitting and tarnish over time. Removable cobalt blue glass liners were inserted into openwork or pierced silver frames to act as a protective barrier while providing a striking colour contrast against the polished metal.

Authentic pieces feature official hallmarks stamped into the silver frame, indicating the maker, purity standard, assay office, and year of manufacture. Additionally, genuine period glass liners exhibit slight hand-blown irregularities, smooth pontil marks, and a precise fit within the metal basket.

While traditionally used for dining tables, these small vessels can be repurposed as elegant holders for small items such as rings, pins, or desk paperclips. Placed on a dining table, sideboard, or tray, they add historic character and rich cobalt accents to contemporary table settings.

Separate the glass liners from the silver frames before cleaning. Wash the glass inserts in warm, soapy water, and gently clean the silver frame using a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver polish, taking care to clear residue from intricate pierced detailing before thoroughly drying.
