This Edwardian gentleman's library hip flask dates from 1919 and originates from Sheffield, bearing the maker's mark of Mappin & Webb. The rectangular form combines a sterling silver inner framework, a glass bottle, and a textured dark brown leather casing, paired with a polished silver bayonet-style screw-down locking lid and a removable base cup lined in silver gilt. Visible features include a central vertical sight level window cut into the leather wrap to monitor liquid levels, hallmarked details on the collar, and a rounded spherical cap finial. The piece measures 12 cm high, 9.5 cm wide, and 3.8 cm deep, with a weight of 12 Troy Oz. In a modern interior, the item sits comfortably on a study desk, a living room sideboard top, or a drinks trolley as a decorative display element or traditional accessory. The combination of tactile leather and gleaming silver metal suits traditional or transitional interior schemes, functioning well alongside other vintage barware or desktop collectables.

FAQs

Hip flasks gained widespread popularity among the gentry during the 18th and 19th centuries, designed as portable vessels for spirits during field sports, hunting, and outdoor travel.

These flasks typically feature a glass body partially encased in durable leather to protect against impact, paired with a sterling silver hinged bayonet cap and a detachable silver base cup.

Authentic British sterling silver flasks feature official hallmark stampsincluding the makers mark, town mark, lion passant purity mark, and date letterstamped on both the silver collar and the detachable cup.

A vintage silver and leather flask functions well as a decorative vignette piece on a dark timber sideboard, inside a glazed display cabinet, or styled on a gentlemans bar cart.

The silver components should be polished gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialist silver polish, ensuring the cleaning compound does not touch the leather casing, which requires periodic feeding with neutral leather balm.
