Antique Silver Plated Vesta Case with Button-Release Lid

A tiny treasure with a little bit of extra magic to it, this antique silver-plated vesta case is full of character and charm, it has beautifully scalloped and embossed exterior with a foliate design and a satisfyingly clever mechanism: a little button on the side that, when pressed, pops open the lid with a gentle spring.

Compact and tactile, it would have once sat snug in a waistcoat pocket, always ready to light a pipe or candle. Now it makes a beautiful, functional curiosity, perfect for styling on a coffee table, always on hand to light your favourite candles. Still in working condition, with its button action intact and traces of its original warm patina.
