Sorry, this item is out of stock.

These are a charming set of four silver-gilt salt pots in the form of coopered half-barrels and made by the top silversmith, Robert Hennell.

Made during the mid-Victorian period, these four salts have gilded interiors to protect the silver from the corrosive effects of salt. They are cleverly engraved to simulate barrels and each have two lug-handles. They are all in fine condition, with a nice feeling of quality and clear sets of hallmarks.
