This Edwardian match striker is an antique desk accessory dating to 1907, made by Levi and Salaman in Birmingham. The object takes a globular form with a clear ribbed glass body and a polished hallmarked sterling silver collar surrounding the top opening. Visible details include crisp horizontal ribs carved into the glass surface, the metal hallmarks stamped clearly onto the silver rim, and minor signs of natural age with dark tarnish around the inner metal edge. Measuring 4.5 cm high, 4 cm wide, and 4 cm deep, the piece sits compactly on any surface. In a contemporary home, this match striker functions effectively as a decorative accent and practical accessory on a library desk, side table, or mantelpiece. The combination of clear glass and gleaming sterling silver suits traditional and transitional interior schemes alike, bringing a touch of early twentieth-century craftsmanship to domestic spaces.

FAQs

Popularised in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, a match striker is a decorative tabletop container designed to hold friction matches, featuring a ribbed glass exterior for striking non-safety matches and topped with a silver mount.

These items typically feature heavy cut glass or moulded crystal with deeply ribbed exterior grooves to create friction, fitted with a hallmarked sterling silver collar around the top aperture to protect the glass rim.

Authentic period pieces feature official silver hallmarks stamped on the metal rim showing the maker, assay office, purity mark, and date letter, alongside genuine surface wear on the ribbed glass.

A silver and glass match striker functions as a functional decorative accent when placed on a fireplace mantelpiece, coffee table tray, or bedside table alongside scented candles.

Gently polish the silver mount with a soft cloth and specialist silver polish, taking care not to let harsh chemicals dull the ribbed glass body, which can be wiped clean with a damp microfibre cloth.
