Description from the seller

Refined and unusual desktop match holder (or small decorative container) entirely made of solid silver with 800 fineness.

The piece stands out for its original and ironic design, finely shaped in the form of a classic men's top hat (top hat).

On the base the legally required marks are perfectly visible and legible: the silver fineness "800", the historic Italian factory mark "39 PA" (corresponding to Salvatore Grilli's Palermo workshop, registered in 1969) and the incised signature of the brand "i grilli".

Condition: The item is in good vintage condition, solid and free of dents. It features the classic rich dark patina from oxidation due to time, which underscores its authenticity (it can be easily restored to the original mirror-bright shine with a simple silver cleaner, at the buyer's discretion).

A unique collectible piece, perfect as a decorative element for an elegant desk, a living room, or as a classy gift idea.

Measurements: Height 2.5 cm, Width 5.2 cm, Length 5.2 cm

Weight: 10 g

Shipping: Careful packaging that preserves the item.
