These don''t come along very often: a solid sterling silver table vesta box, styled as a Porter''s barrow, complete with trunk.
It is clearly hallmarked on the base for London 1907 with the maker''s mark of Peter Henderson Deere.
The trunk has gilding inside and the match striker is the shaft between the handles. Details of the retailer are inscribed along the outside of one handle (Woodruff & Horsefield, 3, Royal Arcade, London) and a registration number sits beside the hallmarks on the base, RD495482.
This is a rare and highly collectable piece of silver.
