Beautiful German silver art nouveau match safe with a design of apple blossoms on scrolling branches. The scrolling design follows the edges with an open unmarked center, where a monogram would normally be engraved. The piece is rectangular but has smooth, slightly curved edges. It has a ridge which is the joining mark of the two sides and a nice working hinge. The base of the match safe has ridge marks and a rasp to strike the match.
The words “German Silver” are stamped on the lip of both sides of the match safe.
MEASUREMENTS: 2 ½” tall x 1 1/2 “ wide x 3/8” deep.
CONDITION: The condition is very good for its age and the fact that match safes are usually kept loose in a pocket unprotected. Although there are a few dents (please look over photos), it is still in very good shape. It weighs a substantial 27 grams. Also, the front seam is starting to split. Some areas need some more work to get a complete polish and shine.
A very beautiful work of the art nouveau period. It feels good to just hold. So polished and smooth.
ITEM: S-414
