1895 Antique British Sterling Silver Vesta Case 32g Lines, Bunn & Mason

Introducing a sterling silver vesta case from antique Britain.

This is a sterling silver vesta case (match case) made in 1895 by the British silversmith "Lines, Bunn & Mason".
It exudes the elegance of Art Nouveau with its beautiful flowing curves, and three-dimensional flowers adorn the entire surface. A graceful monogram is placed in the center, and grooves for striking matches are carved into the bottom.

Today, it can be used as a pill case, or it would be lovely to thread a chain through it and wear it as a pendant.
