没有保留价 - 火柴架 - 银 - 布列塔尼公爵的风俗

This listing is for a magnificent antique French sterling silver **Vesta Case** (match safe), custom-made in the 19th century for the **Ducal Family of Brittany (Duc de Bretagne)**. A rare surviving piece of aristocratic silverware, it represents the height of 19th-century European silversmithing and carries exceptional provenance. Crafted from solid sterling silver, this Vesta Case features exquisite **repoussé (chased)** floral decoration with intricate scrolling foliage and blossoms. The design is framed by elegant chased borders, with an unengraved cartouche (blank reserve) on the front, originally intended for the family crest or monogram of the Breton dukes. The hinged lid opens and closes with a crisp, positive action, ensuring secure storage, while the original striking plate remains intact at the base for convenient use. The case displays a beautiful, natural age-related patina consistent with over a century of existence. It is in excellent antique condition, free from dents, splits, or repairs. The crispness of the relief decoration and the smooth operation of the hinge attest to its fine craftsmanship and careful preservation over the years. Measuring approximately 4.0 cm in length, 3.5 cm in width, and 1.2 cm in depth, and weighing 24 grams, it is a perfectly sized accessory for a gentleman’s pocket. More than just a functional object, this Vesta Case is a tangible link to the Breton aristocracy. It would be a prized addition to any collection of European silverware, tobacciana, or noble memorabilia. **Provenance note:** This piece was custom-made for the Ducal Family of Brittany, reflecting the high status and refined taste of its original owners.
