Edwardian Circular Silver Vesta Case With Pivot Opening By William Neale

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

Very fine, rare and collectable, Edwardian, solid silver vesta case in circular form.  Unusually, the lid is fastened with a circular pin, which enables opening with a pivot motion, enabling rotation to one side.  Clear hallmarks are visible on the body of the Vesta for the Birmingham Assay Office with a date mark for 1905, along with the Lion Passant indicating sterling silver and a patent mark and number.  Maker''s mark is also visible for the renowned silversmith:  William Neale.  There are also partial hallmarks on the lid.
 
 
 
A fabulous vesta case for a collector, in great antique condition. A rare find! (Some very slight surface scratching to the silver which we mention for complete accuracy and are commensurate with age).
