About the Item

A fantastic and rare antique sterling silver table vesta or matchbook cover. This would have been stood atop a table for many to use, probably in a gentleman's smoking room in a wealthy household. It holds a large box of matches for the stylish and easy striking of one match to light a pipe or perhaps a cigar, or even a candle to read by. It stands in four neat bun feet and holds a large matchbox. The top has an inset hand painted image of a salmon by a fishing rod making this piece even more interesting. It most certainly belonged to a keen fisherman, maybe presented as a gift. A delightful and scarce antique piece and a real treat for anglers or the tobacciana or silver collector. Fully hallmarked for sterling silver, assayed at the now highly sought after Chester assay office, 1913, maker Grey and Co. Condition: Good used condition overall, light surface wear and signs of use commensurate with age, some dark patina in areas inside, some small dings and dents to the edges / rim, image insert slightly loose and rattles a little on movement Approx measurements: Width 3" Length 2" Height 1.5" Weighs approximately 92 grams Any questions or queries please contact us.
