FAQs

A vinaigrette was a small, pocket-sized container designed to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar or perfume. During the nineteenth century, these objects were carried to counteract noxious public odours and to revive individuals feeling faint.

Victorian vinaigrettes were crafted from sterling silver and frequently featured gilded interiors to protect the metal from acidic vinegar. Construction involved hand-engraving, die-stamping, and intricate hand-piercing on the internal hinged grill.

Authentic British examples feature full hallmark sets including the lion passant for sterling purity, a monarchs head duty mark, a city mark, an date letter, and a makers mark. Additionally, genuine pieces possess an internal hinged, pierced grill covering the sponge compartment.

These small decorative silver pieces function well when styled on a bedroom dressing table tray, arranged inside a glass collectors cabinet, or displayed on a gentlemans valet tray.

Clean gently using a dry, soft silver-polishing cloth, taking care not to push polish into the fine detailing or internal grill. Store in a dry environment inside anti-tarnish fabric to limit oxidisation over time.
