Charming Petite Chester Silver Vesta

A lovely silver vesta, assayed at the collectable Chester office. This charming example is of a petite size, being ideal for wearing from a neck chain or Albert chain without weighing it down or being intrusive. The body is half engraved with scrolling Acanthus leaves and is free from initials. The hinged lid is fitted with a central attaching loop and the vesta is gilded to the inside. A great example, in a convenient novelty size. Hallmarks:- Clear and readable. Slight distortion Date:- Chester 1903 Maker:- Rolason Brothers
