Edwardian Silver Vesta Case, Arthur Cook, 1904
This is an attractive Edwardian Sterling Silver Vesta Case. The oblong case has engraved scroll decoration across the upper diagonal half on each side leaving a blank cartouche on either side. The interior of the case is gilded.
The vesta case was made in Birmingham by silversmith Arthur Cook and dates to 1904. Arthur Cook registered his mark at the Birmingham assay office in 1899, later also registering a mark in Chester. He had a fairly short career during which he primarily focused on silver smoking accessories and seems to have ceased trading around 1908.
Condition is good, with just a couple of small dings on one side and the superficial surface wear that you would expect after 120 years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The vesta case is 3.5cm / 1.4ins by 3.1cm / 1.2ins and weighs in at a respectable 16.8g / 0.59oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on the inside rim, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham, the date letter e for 1904 and the A.C makers' mark for Arthur Cook.
Shipping in the UK is £6 by Royal Mail Tracked 24.
Overseas customers, please ask us about shipping costs to your country before making a purchase.
