Description

This antique Georgian silver vinaigrette has been realistically modelled in the form of a purse.

The strap decoration to the hinged silver vinaigrette cover forms a plain thumbpiece and allows access to the hinged pierced decorated gilt grille.

The interior of this Georgian silver vinaigrette and grille is gilded and retains the original sponge.

Andrew sold these items at various London markets and antique fairs. Over time, and through selling at a range of venues, Andrew built up a large and diverse customer base from private buyers to national and international trade customers.
