Birmingham 1908 Silver Scroll Pattern Vesta & 18” Curb Chain with Twin Dog Clips

My passion for precious metals and my journey as a silversmith along with my love of history has allowed me to curate a special collection of Antique and Vintage finds that I cannot wait to share. 
I have a particular affection for Victorian Silver but some pieces extend into Edwardian and early 20th century. 
This particular piece is a sympathetic marriage between a pretty scroll design vesta with a luscious gilt interior and a modern chunky curb chain and double Albert clasps all in keeping with the history and style of the piece. Perfect for holding small sentimental treasures whilst on your travels.
The sterling silver curb chain is 18” in length and has a width of 5.1mm and comes complete with an Albert clasp on each end. The vesta is attached to the central point of the chain. It has a blank shield cartouche on the front and the lid opens and closes firmly. It’s 42.3mm x 25mm x 9.68mm and hallmarked Birmingham 1908 on the inner lip and the front of the lid. Makers mark S&BM. The rich golden gilt interior really sets this vesta ahead of others and its size is very desirable. Collectively the necklace weighs roughly 47.3g
Whilst this is a vintage pre loved piece and does have age related characteristics these only add to the charm of it. It has been polished and all damaged or loose links have been repaired or replaced to ensure the piece can be worn without worrying that it will become detached or lost. 
 
All my jewellery is sent to you in my signature gift box.
