FAQs

During the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, nutmeg was a costly spice carried by individuals to flavour food and hot beverages while travelling, using personal silver graters equipped with internal steel rasps.

These compact boxes were predominantly constructed from sterling silver or silver plate, incorporating a steel or iron rasp inside to withstand the grating of dense whole spices.

Authentic pieces display official British hallmarks denoting silver purity, assay office, makers initials, and date letters, paired with hand-fitted hinges and period-appropriate assembly.

Small silver objects are suited to display inside glazed cabinet cases, placed on decorative trays upon a dining sideboard, or grouped with desk curiosities in a study.

The exterior silver casing should be wiped with a soft cloth and specialist silver polish, while keeping the internal steel grater completely dry to prevent surface oxidisation.
