Fine Victorian Small Silver Double Compartment Snuff Box & Vesta 1860 Combination
£425 $569 €498
An unusual and very stylish small Victorian silver combination tobacco or snuff box with vesta compartment, both covers with a shared central hinge. The vesta cover is set with a match striker plate. Both sides and all edges with machine engraved decoration reserving a hand engraved cartouche to the main cover. It appears to be in the form of a stylised belt or sash with small symbolic elements. The small size and elegant design would suggest it may have belonged to a lady. Hallmarked to the inside of both base and larger cover, Birmingham 1860, maker initials J.S. A very fine quality and delightful piece.
Provenance: From the private collection of Ismay Diana Fitzroy (1933-2022), daughter of Lord John Percy Fitzroy (1899-1945).
It measures 5.1cm (2'') long, 2.5cm (1'') wide and 0.8cm (5/16'') deep and weighs 22g.
In excellent condition with no damage or repair. The hinge is excellent and both covers close crisply. Very minor handling wear, the engraved decoration is lovely a...nd crisp, as are the hallmarks. A very tiny scuff to the corner edge of the vesta cover is the only fault, otherwise it is immaculate.
