Victorian Set of Silver Salt Bowls and Spoons London 1886

19th century
For Sale by Aramis Antiques
Description

A superb Victorian set of four matching silver salt bowls or cellars and salt spoons with clear hallmarks on each bowl for London 1886, with Victoria head, and makers mark for renowned maker William Hutton & Sons. Three of the salt spoons bear the same hallmarks and makers mark, with one matched salt spoon being hallmarked Birmingham 1911, makers mark for John Millard Banks. The salt bowls each have a low bulbous body, standing on three hoof feet, with beaded rims. They are gilt lined, a mark of quality. The salt spoons have similar beaded edges, and also have gilt lined bowls. The set comes with its original custom made box lined with magenta velvet and silk. All items are in very good condition, and the silver has no dents or dinks. Though originally made as salt bowls, the bowls can equally be used for pepper or other condiments. The gilt linings will protect the silver.

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

Victorian silver salt cellars are small vessels crafted during the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901) designed to hold salt at the dining table before free-flowing table salt and shakers were invented.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver (925 purity) and frequently feature gold-gilded interiors, known as vermeil, which protected the silver from chemical corrosion caused by sodium chloride.

Authentic British silver pieces feature a full set of official assay office hallmarks, including the sterling lion passant, a makers mark, a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture, and the town mark such as the London leopards head.

In modern settings, cased salt cellars can be displayed open on a sideboard or dressers, or repurposed on a dressing table to hold small items of jewellery such as rings and ear studs.

Silver salt cellars should be cleaned with a specialized silver polishing cloth or mild silver foam, ensuring all salt residues are thoroughly removed after use to prevent pitting and tarnishing.
