Antique Figural Vesta / Go-To-Bed - Owl c.1880 Antique English Figural %%alt5%%
A charming little table Vesta in the form of an owl, made from solid cast brass and dating to the Victorian era, around 1880.

The Owl's head is hinged to get to the matches which would have been stored within, retrieved, then struck on the textured surface of the Owl's plumage.

There is a small hole on the branch which the Owl sits on, the match would have been placed in here to supply enough light to get up the stairs where a candle could then be lit, this is the reason these are known as Go-To-Bed's.

Excellent condition retaining it's original glass eyes, measuring 2 3/4" in height.
