Antique Silver Heart Shaped Vesta Case 1902 by William Aitken

An unusual Edwardian antique silver heart shaped vesta case. Formed in a heart shape and in a smooth polished design which sits nicely in the hand, the top of the heart hinges upwards providing a receptacle for matches.

The hinge closes with a good firm snap.

 

A lovely and unusual collectors item.
