FAQs

Salt cellars were essential table accessories prior to the widespread availability of free-flowing anti-caking salt additives. During the Victorian era, cased silver sets were popular items for formal dining presentation and frequently presented as commemorative or wedding gifts.

Victorian silver salts were raised or spun from solid sterling silver alloy (925 parts per thousand pure silver). Artisans added surface details through hand engraving, chasing, or embossing, finishing rims with hand-crimped edges before lining presentation cases with plush silk and velvet.

Authentic British sterling silver displays a full set of official hallmarks stamped into the metal. These marks include the lion passant for silver purity, a town mark indicating the assay office, a date letter representing the year of manufacture, and a makers mark.

Cased silver salt sets can be displayed open on a dining room sideboard, dresser, or inside a glazed display cabinet. Alternatively, individual silver salt cellars can be incorporated into modern dinner party table settings for serving specialty sea salts or spices.

Silver salts must be washed in warm soapy water immediately after use, as salt causes rapid corrosion and pitting if left in direct contact with silver. Store the pieces in a dry location, ideally within their original lined case or anti-tarnish cloth, polishing gently with a soft silver cloth when necessary.
