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.

Novelty silver salts became popular during the nineteenth century, designed in whimsical forms such as wheelbarrows, baskets, or figures to add entertainment and elegance to formal dining tables.

These pieces were typically cast or chased from solid sterling silver or silver plate, featuring intricate openwork patterns, repousse details, and matching miniature spoons.

Authentic nineteenth-century French silver usually bears official French guarantee hallmarks, such as the Minerva head mark, alongside a diamond-shaped makers punch mark stamped into the metal surface.

Novelty silver salts can be arranged as part of a formal table setting, displayed on a dining table centrepiece tray, or showcased within a glass-fronted cabinet alongside fine tableware.

Salt can corrode silver over time, so these cellars should be emptied after use, washed gently in warm soapy water, dried thoroughly, and polished periodically with a soft silver cloth.
