Rare Sterling Silver Cross-ferguson Family Sealing Wax Holder Vesta Case C1900

1900 - 1920
Description

A superb rare English antique solid sterling silver sealing wax holder and combination vesta case. It is hallmarked for London with the date letter being rubbed. I would date it to c1880-1900. It has been superbly designed and has been engraved with a motto VI ET ARTE and the double family crest Cross-Ferguson (possibly marking the coming together of the families via marriage). The square open end holds a sealing wax stick the other end holds matches. It is in superb condition being free from dings splits holes and repairs, just the odd faint mark. It measures approx. 3 inches (7cm) long by 0.75 inch (1.9cm) square and weighs 32 grams. A very unusual example.

Declaration

The Silver Squirrel has dated this piece to the 1900s.
