Silver Rim Match Striker

1900 - 1920
Description

A good example of a small globular match holder with a solid silver rim. The holder itself is made from ribbed glass and the hole in the top is to store the matches.

The hallmark on the silver rim is slightly rubbed but the Birmingham mark can be seen and the date narrowed down to between 1900 - 1930.

It is in good condition for its age. There are some small dinks and surface marks on the silver rim and some minor marks on the glass but no major damages and it displays well. It has been lightly cleaned and polished and is ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Match strikers, also known as pyrogenes, became widely popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as tabletop accessories designed to hold and ignite friction matches.

These pieces were typically made using heavy textured or ribbed glass, ceramic, or porcelain, often finished with hallmarked silver or brass collars around the top rim.

Authentic period examples feature makers marks or silver assay hallmarks stamped onto the metallic rim, combined with a textured surface designed for striking matches.

A match striker works well placed beside candles on a fireplace mantelpiece, styled on a coffee table tray, or positioned on an office desk as a decorative paperweight.

The glass body should be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth, while the silver collar should be polished using a dedicated silver cloth to remove oxidisation without abrasive chemicals.
