FAQs

Victorian salt cellars were staple dining table accessories used before the invention of free-flowing table salt, reflecting the eras elaborate tablescapes and high craftsmanship.

They were typically fashioned from sterling silver, often featuring gilt interiors to prevent corrosion from the salt, and housed in leather or velvet-lined presentation cases.

Authentic pieces bear British hallmarks indicating the assay office, date letter, and silver standard, alongside traditional makers marks.

They can be displayed on a sideboard, used as decorative trinket dishes for small items, or incorporated into a thoughtfully curated tablescape.

Clean them gently with a specialised silver cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding abrasive polishes, and store them in dry, temperature-controlled conditions.
