Description

A very fine pair of Georgian table salts by Rebecca Emes and Edward Barnard hallmarked 1813. These ogee rectangular salts with dragoon and shell border stand on a dragooned base and retain the original silver gilt lining. The craftsmanship is outstanding and the weight substantial (7.1 troy ozs)

The condition is very good, there is one minute dent to one of the salts, clearly shown in the photographs and not detrimental to the function or appearance. The salts have a small, lightly engraved crest, lion rampant with initials below.

These are high quality antique table salts that would add style and elegance to any table setting.

FAQs

Georgian and Regency table salts are small open vessels used to hold ground salt at the dining table during the 18th and early 19th centuries, often characterised by neoclassical or rococo revival motifs, pedestal bases, and gilt interiors.

These items were traditionally crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as raising, casting, and chasing, frequently featuring hand-engraved crests and a mercury-gilded interior known as parcel-gilding to protect the silver from the corrosive properties of salt.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped on the base or body, which typically include the makers mark, the lion passant for sterling standard, the city assay mark, and a date letter corresponding to the Georgian or Regency period.

These small decorative pieces can be displayed on a sideboard, used as refined ring dishes on a dressing table, or utilised in contemporary table settings to add historical texture and metallic contrast.

Preservation involves minimising chemical cleaning, using a non-abrasive silver cloth only when necessary to remove tarnish, and storing the items in a low-humidity environment away from direct sunlight.
