Stunning Victorian Silver Vesta Case Birmingham 1894

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Woodbridge Antiques

A wonderfully decorative, Victorian, solid silver Vesta case. The case is embellished with the very finest repousse work which unusally, stretches over three corners of the vesta with the forth corner decorated with undulating waves (see images). Attention to the smallest detail is evident. The hinged lid opens nicely to reveal the hallmarks for the Birmingham Assay Office with a date mark for 1894 and Lion Passant indicating the finest sterling silver. Maker''s marks are also visible for Minshull & Latimer.
