Maker: Roberts & Belk (Furnival Works, Sheffield, England)
Object: Salt cellar/trinket dish
Era: Estimated Late Victorian to early Edwardian (circa 1890s–1901).
Dimensions - 10 x 6.5cm
Provenance: Proudly crafted at the historic Furnival Works in Sheffield, England, a legendary epicenter of high-class British silver plating.
Material: Silver-plated composition
Condition: Fair antique condition. While the structural form and exterior plating remain beautiful, the inner basin displays severe surface pitting, localised silver depletion, and significant oxidation stemming from decades of exposure to corrosive table salt crystals.
There may be some signs of wear as all items have a story. I believe this adds to their uniqueness and authenticity. Please keep this in mind when making your purchase.
A note on era: Dates are estimated through design, materials, construction and manufacturing techniques, alongside any available maker’s marks or historical references. Where definitive dating is not possible, eras are offered as informed estimates rather than confirmed dates.
Colour may vary slightly due to individual device/monitor settings and environmental factors.
