Description
A rare silver vesta and sealing wax combination dating from the elegant Edwardian era. This unusual piece is of elongated rectangular form, with a hinged lid containing the striker at one end. At the other end is an aperture containing the sealing wax column, with a removable pin to facilitate moving the wax stick down for use. The inside of the vesta compartment is gilded.
A wonderful, interesting piece of silver desk ware and a great collector's item.
