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

A quaich salt cellar is a small open condiment dish modelled after the traditional Scottish two-handled drinking bowl, known as a quaich, featuring two prominent side handles called lugs.

Silver salt cellars are typically crafted from solid sterling silver, often fitted with removable coloured glass liners, such as green or cobalt blue, to prevent salt corrosion against the metal.

Authentic antique silver pieces bear official assay hallmarks indicating the purity standard, city mark, date letter, and makers mark, usually stamped on the underside or rim.

Place a pair of silver open salts on a formal dining table or sideboard alongside fine tableware to add historical detail and functional elegance to dinner service.

Remove the glass liners to wash them in warm soapy water, and gently polish the silver exterior using a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver cream, ensuring no moisture remains trapped under the glass.
