Antique Brass & Reverse Painted (Eglomise) Go-to-bed - London - Houses of Parliament C.1860

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

A very handsome and unusual table vesta made from English brass with an attractive pierced body. The removable top has a small hole in the frame, made to hold a match once struck, giving off enough light to go up the stairs at night, hence these are known as a "Go-To-Bed".

Dating to around 1860, this is unusual example with a reverse painted or Eglomise scene to the top and the subject couldn't be better or more desirable. The painted panel is of the Houses of Parliament in London with Big Ben to the far end.

The underside has a series of concentric circles molded into the base acting as a strike for a non-safety match or Vesta.

A superb piece in excellent condition, the base diameter measures 2" and the piece stands 2 5/8" tall.
