FAQs

During the Georgian period, silver vinaigrettes were small pocket-sized containers used to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic oils or vinegar. They were carried to mask foul public odours and to prevent faintness, featuring a hinged perforated inner grille to contain the liquid while allowing fragrance to escape.

Georgian vinaigrettes were crafted from sterling silver, often featuring a gilded interior (silver-gilt) to protect the metal from corrosion caused by acidic vinegar. Decoration involved hand-engraving, wrigglework, chased borders, and intricately pierced or cast inner grilles.

Authentic pieces carry British hallmarks stamped on the interior or exterior walls, including the sovereigns head duty mark, leopards head for London, date letter, and makers mark. The presence of a gilded interior and hand-pierced grille is also typical of period construction.

These compact silver objects are suitable for display on desk trays, glass-topped shadow boxes, or styled within curated shelves alongside historical books and curiosities.

Dust gently with a microfibre cloth and polish exterior silver surfaces using a specialised silver polishing cloth. Avoid abrasive creams on the interior gilding, as gold wash layer can wear away over time.
