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

During the Georgian period, salt was a valuable commodity, and salt cellars served as prominent symbols of status on formal dining tables. These open vessels were designed to allow guests to take salt using small spoons or fingertips before salt shakers became widespread.

Georgian salt cellars were typically crafted from solid sterling silver, often featuring hand-pierced or cast ornamentation. They were commonly fitted with removable cobalt blue glass liners to protect the interior silver from being corroded by the salt.

Authentic Irish Georgian silver pieces feature official Dublin assay office marks, including the crowned harp makers mark, the figure of Hibernia (introduced in 1730), a monarchs head duty mark, and specific date letters corresponding to the year of manufacture.

These small decorative pieces can be integrated into modern dining room settings on a sideboard top, used on a dressing table to store small jewellery items, or styled alongside modern tableware to add historical contrast.

Always remove the glass liners before cleaning the metal. Gently polish the silver using a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver polish, taking care not to build up compound inside detailed pierced work, while washing the glass separately in warm soapy water.
