FAQs

Vinaigrettes were small ornate silver containers produced primarily during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, designed to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar or perfume to mask unpleasant public odours.

These items were typically crafted from sterling silver with an interior gilt wash (vermeil) to protect the silver against corrosion from acidic vinegar, featuring hand-pierced internal grills and engine-turned exterior detailing.

Authentic pieces carry British hallmark stamps, including the lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark, date letter, duty mark, and makers initials such as those of established silversmiths.

These small decorative objects are ideal for display within a glass-topped curio cabinet, placed on a vanity tray, or arranged alongside other antique silver smallwork on a sideboard top.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and use a silver polishing cloth sparingly on the exterior, taking care to avoid chemical polishes on the interior gilding.
