EDITORS COMMENTS
The Grand State Salt Cellar of the Tower of London, as depicted in this 1885 photograph, is an exquisite piece of British history. Officially known as Her Majesty's Royal Palace and the Fortress of the Tower of London, this historic structure was built in the 11th century during the Norman Conquest of England. The Tower has served variously as a royal residence, armory, treasury, and prison until 1952. In this image, we focus on the Grand State Salt Cellar, also known as the Salt of State or the Exeter Salt. This ornate utensil was presented to King Charles II for his Restoration banquet in 1660. It is a bejeweled vessel used to serve salt and other spices, adding a touch of grandeur to the royal table. The Salt Cellar's intricate design, with its gold mounts and precious stones, is a testament to the opulence of the monarchy during the Victorian era. This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Tower of London and its regal treasures.
