FAQs

A vinaigrette is a small pocket container used during the Georgian and Victorian eras to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar, designed to mask unpleasant odours.

These items were typically fabricated from sterling silver, often with a gilt interior, and decorated using techniques such as engine-turning, chasing, and hand-engraving.

Authentic pieces bear clear British hallmarks, including a makers mark, standard mark, town mark for assay offices such as Birmingham or London, and a date letter corresponding to the active period.

Small antique silver boxes can be displayed on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or coffee table as curated decorative objects that add historical texture and metallic accent to a room.

Antique silver gilt should be cleaned sparingly with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips or abrasive silver polishes that can wear away the delicate gold wash.
