Reference Number: Avaluer:1008669Product: Cigarette/ Vesta Cases
Composition: Solid SilverAge: 1850-1899
Original Description:
ANTIQUE AUSTRALIAN BURRA NUT SILVER MOUNTED VESTA CASE/MATCH SAFE. THERE IS A VACANT SHIELD-SHAPED CARTOUCHE TO THE FRONT ON THE RICH AGED PATINA OF THE NUT. THE HINGE IS GOOD AND CLIPS INTO PLACE WELL AND THE MATCH STRIKER IS ONLY VERY SLIGHTLY WORN. THERE IS SOME SORT OF MAKER'S MARK TO THE INNER LID WHICH APPEARS TO BE A SERIES OF NUMBERS BUT THESE ARE QUITE HARD TO SEE. THE SILVER TRIM AT THE TOP HAS A SCALLOPED EDGE. THERE IS A CRACK TO THE BACK WHICH IS MORE PRONOUNCED AT THE TOP... AND CAN BE SEEN FROM THE INNER AND A TINY CREASE ABOVE THE SHIELD TO THE FRONT.
THIS HAS BEEN ON DISPLAY IN A VITRINE SO HAS NOT BEEN DAMAGED BY CENTRAL HEATING. I SUSPECT THE DAMAGE IS OLD. STILL A GREAT DISPLAY PIECE.
POST AND PACKING WILL BE £4.00
