Engraved Silver Vinaigrette Box with Monogram
This finely made rectangular trinket box is crafted in silver and decorated throughout with crisp engraved detail. The hinged lid is centred with a rectangular cartouche engraved with a monogram, framed by a textured ground and bordered by a raised, scrolling rim.
Boxes of this type are commonly known as vinaigrettes, fashionable personal accessories during the late Georgian and early Victorian periods. They were designed to hold a small sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar or perfume beneath the pierced grille, allowing the scent to gently diffuse when the lid was opened. Such items were carried in pockets or reticules and were believed to revive the senses, ward off unpleasant odours, and even protect against illness in crowded urban environments.
This engraved silver trinket box is a charming survivor of everyday luxury from the past, offering both historical interest and timeless appeal. It would make a refined addition to a silver collection or serve once again as a repository for small personal treasures.
Key Features:
- Dimensions: The box measures 22mm x 40mm
- Weight: 32 grams.
- Hallmarking: Hallmarked, 1841
