Antique STERLING Art Nouveau Daisy Match Safe / Vesta Case - Flower Design

What a gorgeous antique match safe! It is made of sterling silver with an ornate baroque design with flowers and flourishes. It measures about 2 1/2" by 1 9/16". The weight is about 16 grams. Good antique condition with light age appropriate wear including typical light denting and there is a little separation at the inside lip as seen in the last close-up photo (could have been in the making, or was a thin area in the making which later separated). We have not cleaned or polished it and it has a nice warm uneven patina (tarnish). There are shadows and reflections in the photos that are not on the match safe. Marked STERLING. The lid opens and closes well and makes a clicking noise. So beautiful! Would make a great addition to any antique silver collection! You will love this!
