Antique Sterling Silver Vesta Case, Birmingham 1900 – Engraved with Acanthus design
This elegant sterling silver vesta case dates to 1900 and carries the Birmingham assay marks. Both sides display richly detailed acanthus leaf engraving, lending the piece a sense of refinement and craftsmanship typical of the late Victorian/early Edwardian period.
The case opens smoothly, with a well-fitted lid and a crisp striker to the bottom edge. Its compact size makes it easy to carry or display, and the side loop allows it to be hung from a chain or Albert.
