At DLS Antiques we aim to source and sell antique objects for investment, decoration and pleasure that will enhance the home. We specialise in fine antique ceramics, both British and continental, and we stock beautiful silver items from the Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco periods. We also offer a selection of other interesting, attractive and collectable antique items. I sold my first antique over thirty years ago but we are now a fully online business and therefore all of our items have a full description, including measurements, and they have an accurate condition report that highlight any repairs or restoration. We can also supply further details or photographs on request. We offer both a UK and international postal service and we have clients all over the world. The prices shown include UK delivery but do please contact for international postal costs. We are also committed to continuing to provide an honest and straightforward approach to our business, where customer satisfaction wins.

Edwardian 1909 Birmingham Sterling Silver Vesta Case.
The manufacturer's initial marks are worn and pretty difficult to decipher but the other assay marks are clear.
The square vesta is of plain design on both sides and concave in shape.

In reasonably good condition but clearly has some dents and dings as expected of a used item of over 100 years old. The lid's snap has gone and it doesn't fit tightly as shown in the photographs.
