50760-Stunning French antique Silver Vesta Case An exceptionally rare antique Sterling Silver Vesta Case originating from France, it embodies the quintessential elegance carried by gentlemen and socialites during the glamorous Art Nouveau era. The body is masterfully executed in high-relief repoussé work, vividly capturing romantic clusters of Wisteria blossoms and vines, a motif celebrated for its organic flow and dreamy beauty, rendering the piece as much a portable sculpture as a functional item. Authenticity is affirmed by the clear French registration mark {DEPOSE} (meaning 'Registered Design' or 'Patented'), which guarantees the exclusivity of its intricate pattern, along with the official antique silver hallmarks (Poinçons) indicating the precious metal standard. 數量內容content ：一個銀火柴盒a Silver Vesta Case 尺寸size：長L4.7 x寬W3.3 x厚H1 cm 重量weight ：18g 材質material : 實木wood 年份Year：19世紀末20世紀初late 19th to early 20th century 印標hallmark：DEPOSE Crab （註冊專利/螃蟹標） 產地Origin ：法國France Reference code : W51029-2310 ⚠️請留意：表面一處有微微凹陷。這純銀火柴盒不能用現代安全火柴點燃。它是為 19 世紀末至 20 世紀初的「老式摩擦火柴」設計，這種火柴頭含有完整的點火化學成分，可直接在金屬摩擦面上劃燃；而現代安全火柴需依靠盒側紅磷摩擦條才能點燃，因此無法配合使用。 古董物件無論顏色與表面皆有歷史使用痕跡，若有任何問題，歡迎請來訊詢問。 ⚠️親愛的來自國外的朋友們，全球運輸提供安全包裝。 歡迎隨時與我們詢問運費相關事宜。 ⚠️ Please note: There is a slight depression on the surface. This sterling silver matchbox can't be lit with modern safety matches. It is designed for "old-fashioned friction matches" from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. This kind of match head contains complete ignition chemical components, which can be burned directly on the metal friction surface; while modern safety matches need to rely on the red phosphorus friction strip on the side of the box to be ignited, so they cannot be used together. Antique objects have historical wear&tear of use regardless of color and surface.
