Sorry, this item is out of stock.

Made by the premier London silversmith, Henry Dee, this Victorian silver vinaigrette is beautifully made in the form of a barrel. It encapsulates two boxes in one: a vinaigrette to one end and a small compartment to the other for holding pills, patches and the like. Opening both hinged covers reveals a classy gilt interior, with the vinaigrette end having an attractively pierced hinged grille. There is a retainer ring for attaching to a chain.

 

This antique, novelty vinaigrette remains in excellent condition with clear hallmarks throughout.
