Late Victorian Sterling Silver Table Lighter

hallmarked London, 1893-1894, by Samuel Walton Smith, of ovoid form decorated with embossed rococo scrolls, shells and flowers with central cartouches, applied scrolling espagnolette handles, a gauffered cap all on a conforming foot en suite, with one central and two side wicks.
h. 4-1/4", dia. 2-3/4", w. 4"; 5.10 t. oz.

**In generally good condition with some scattered wear and bumps including two small dings on one cartouche, but no breaks or repairs. The outer two wicks are in holes which probably had detachable lighters in them, now lacking. Fully hallmarked on the shoulder near one handle (marks rubbed); part-marked on the cap sleeve (marks clean with some friction wear on the maker's mark).
