Vinaigrette c. 1800 - 1801

"Vinaigrette" is a small, rectangular silver box, dating back to c. 1800-1801, crafted by T. Phipps and E. Robinson. The box, now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection, features an intricate, repeating diamond pattern etched across its surface, showcasing the fine craftsmanship of its creators. This exquisite example of silverwork, measuring 3.8 × 2.5 cm, serves as a testament to the elegant tastes of the early 19th century.
