A silver argyle, otherwise known as a silver Argyll, is a gravy warmer; an internal chamber filled with hot water keeps the gravy warm from kitchen to table. The original Argyll/argyle was crafted in honor of the fifth Duke of Argyll, John Campbell (1723-1806) and his wife Elizabeth Gunning, Baroness Hamilton of Hameldon.
Patination or Patina is a subtle coloration or tarnish which forms on the surface of some metals, produced by oxidation or other chemical processes. A good patina proffers an aesthetically pleasing look.
