What a magnificent set, the box being as equally special as the contents. I wish they had been sterling silver, but then again they would have been two or three times the price.
They could be either French or English and date to around 1880, a wonderful Victorian set. The salts are both heavy and not thin and tinny and retain the wonderful gilded interior to protect from the corrosive salt. The spoon are a wonderful ladle shape with pretty bowls again retaining the gold plating.
As I mention, the box is equally stunning in a worn and faded velvet box, really super quality with the interior having a beautiful green silk lining and a most unusual bevelled mirror on the inside of the lid.
Exceptional and in wonderful condition. Each salt measures 1 1/4" tall and a rim diameter of 1 3/4" and each spoon measures 3 1/4" in length. The box measures 7" x 3".
