Victorian Silver Heart Shaped Vinaigrette

715D
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very unusual Victorian silver heart-shaped vinaigrette which is in excellent condition. It was made circa 1850, and has repoussé decoration on the outside and silver gilt on the inside. There is a hinged pierced compartment for smelling salts. These vinaigrettes were popular at the time as the streets were pretty smelly!

Ollys Pick
