~~ART NOUVEAU STERLING SILVER VESTA MATCH SAFE 18.7 grams.~~Super cool Art Nouveau piece of history here... these were used back when people used matches commonly... a person could strike a match on just about anything to lite it. Think back to the old school cartoons where you might see a man strike a match on the side of his face or striking the match on the side of a stove... the match would have come out of a case similar to what we have here...only not as nice!! The design is shar...p and crisp with one side monogrammed. There are a few little dents on one side but hardly detracts from the overall aesthetic and certainly acceptable given its age. The piece is unsigned but marked sterling... the model was apparently very popular, as I've seen a few posted here and there. Circa 1900
