The Mixologist Richard - Antique Silver Plate Vesta Case

Unusual cylinder shape

Love the engraved design of this one with detailed Neo Classic work of Greek key hole borders and oval cartouches.

I particularly love the engraving along his sides

He is in silver plate with monogrammed cartouche on one side reading JR 

From what I can make out the lozenge date on her lid reads 7th July 1870

Secure workable hinge lid. 

Makers mark F D

Richard has excessive silver wear and patina inside and out from age and use

His ridged striker still well used and with texture

Richard is a very tactile piece

He can be used today to keep, stamps, pins or matches to keep next to your candles
