This pair of Edwardian salt cellars belongs to the Rococo Revival style, fashioned from sterling silver in a bright silver colour. Each open salt stands on three shaped tripod legs with shell-capped feet, featuring a scalloped pie crust rim and a horizontal moulding around the bowl, complete with matching small silver spoons with ball terminals and hallmarked stamps dating the set to 1906 by makers Charles Wilkes and William Devonport. Each salt measures 5 cm high, 6 cm wide, and 6 cm deep. Items of this type suit a traditional dining table center or sideboard display in an English Country House setting for serving salt during formal meals.

FAQs

Open salt cellars were traditional dining vessels designed to hold loose salt on the table prior to the invention of anti-caking agents and modern salt shakers in the early twentieth century. Diners used tiny dedicated spoons to serve salt onto the edge of their plates.

Antique salt cellars were typically crafted from sterling silver using silversmithing techniques such as raising, casting, and chasing. Many incorporated cast tripod feet, decorated rims, and occasionally blue glass liners to protect the metal from chemical reaction.

Authentic British sterling silver pieces feature a series of official hallmarks stamped into the metal, including the lion passant mark for silver purity, an assay office symbol, a date letter, and a makers mark.

Beyond formal table settings, small open silver salts function effectively on dressed sideboards, dressing tables, or bedside stands as refined vessels for holding small items of jewellery or pins.

Salt causes oxidisation and pitting when left in prolonged contact with silver, so cellars must be emptied and wiped clean after use. Polish occasionally with a specialist silver cloth or gentle liquid silver polish, avoiding abrasive cleaners.
