1891 English Antique Sterling Silver Vinaigrette 33g Hayes Brothers

Introducing a sterling silver vinaigrette from antique Britain.

Vinaigrette is a French word meaning "vinegar," and it refers to a small case used to hold "smelling salts."

This is a lavishly crafted vinaigrette (perfume holder) made by Hayes Brothers of Birmingham, England, in 1891 during the late Victorian era.
With internal dimensions of 53mm in height and 40mm in width, this is a very rare large size for an item of this type. The strong spiral border and delicate scroll engraving on the substantial sterling silver create an overwhelming presence.
Worn as a pendant, its size will make it a central accent to any outfit.
