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

Georgian open silver salts are small table vessels crafted during the 18th century to hold loose salt prior to the widespread adoption of salt shakers.

Cobalt blue glass liners were inserted into silver salts to protect the metal from corrosion and pitting caused by moisture and chemical reactions with salt.

Authentic George II silver salts feature full London hallmarks, including the lion passant, makers mark, date letter, and leopards head crown, along with cast pad or hoof feet.

These small vessels can be styled on a dining table centre, displayed on a sideboard top, or used on a dressing table to store small jewellery pieces.

Wash the removable glass liners gently in warm soapy water, while polishing the silver frame with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish.
