FAQs

Popular throughout the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, silver nutmeg graters were compact personal utensils designed to carry whole nutmegs and grate them fresh into food or hot beverages.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver with an interior steel rasp or grater plate, often finished with hand-engraved, bright-cut, or engine-turned exterior ornament.

Authentic pieces carry British hallmarking, including the makers mark, town mark, lion passant for sterling purity, a date letter, and the monarchs profile duty mark.

Small antique silver accessories are suitable for display on a sideboard tray, inside a glass curio cabinet, or as part of a tabletop vignette on an office desk.

Silver should be cleaned using a soft cloth and a specialised, non-abrasive silver cream, avoiding full submersion in water to prevent damage to internal steel components.
