Description:	An impressive collection of six silver salts. These matching salts are sarcophagus-shaped and from the Georgian period, being made in 1810 in London by Storey and Elliott. The top rim of each salt is raised and decorated with a gadroon, flower and shell design. This design is echoed on each of the four sides of the body of the salt and one side is inscribed with the script letter ‘R’. The salts stand on four attractive claw feet and bear clear marks on the base. The interior of the salts is gilt, which looks beautiful and helps to protect the silver from damage by the salt. Each salt is in good condition and weighs six ounces, totaling thirty-six ounces of silver in all. The salts measure nearly four inches across and are over two inches high. These salts would make an impressive display at the dining table and would be a great conversation-piece.
