A beautiful, round, and elegant matchbox (Vesta, matchstick holder, mistera) in .800 silver, finely decorated with a relief-engraved poppy design and available as a pendant. This piece, typical of the Art Nouveau period (circa 1900), captures the essence of the movement with its inspiration from nature and organic lines. We were especially excited to find that it contained a few matches inside.
Matchboxes were a must-have accessory in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, used to carry safety matches with style and sophistication. Their rounded design, hinged, and secure closure make them both practical and elegant.
A perfect item for antique collectors, Art Nouveau lovers, or as a unique and historical gift.
