51108- Antique 19th Century French Napoleon III Period 800 Silver Vesta Case

51108- Antique 19th Century French Napoleon III Period 800 Silver Vesta Case A masterpiece of late 19th-century French gentleman's accessories, this vesta case embodies the opulent Napoleon III style. Crafted in 800 silver with a luxurious gold-washed (vermeil) interior. 💡 Special Note on Functionality This vesta case was designed for "Strike Anywhere Matches" from the late 19th to early 20th century, which could be ignited directly on the case's textured metal surface at the bottom. Please note that modern "Safety Matches" will not ignite on this case, as they require a specific red phosphorus striking surface found on modern matchboxes. We recommend this piece as a sophisticated jewelry case or a unique statement pendant. *Content：Vesta Case x1。 *Size：4.5 x 4 x 1 cm。 *Weight：16g。 *Material：800 Silver, Gilt interior。 *Origin：France。 *Year：Late 19th Century。 *Hallmarks / Markings：French Crabe Hallmark (800 Silver)。 Reference code : W60311-2313。 ⚠️ Condition：In good antique condition with a stunning gilt interior and minor historical wear consistent with its age。 ⚠️ Global shipping available with secure packaging.
