FAQs

A vinaigrette is a small pocket container used during the 18th and 19th centuries to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar, designed to mask unpleasant odours.

These pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as engine-turning, repousse, and fine piercing for the internal grille.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks for the assay office, makers mark, and standard sterling lion passat, alongside checking the quality of the hand-engraving and internal pierced gilt grille.

Small silver collectables add curated detail when displayed inside a glass-fronted cabinet, on a decorative tray, or atop a stack of coffee table books.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly with a non-abrasive silver cloth and stored in a dry environment to prevent excessive tarnish and loss of engraved detail.
