Add a touch of storied elegance to your moody library or Dark Academia-inspired study with this handsome vintage English silver-plate match holder. Modeled in the silhouette of a classic campana urn, this striking tabletop accessory features dual lion mask ring handles and an intricately detailed floral border along the flared rim. Stamped "England" on the base alongside a beautifully detailed maker's mark, its diminutive size makes it a perfect, functional accent for holding matches beside a favorite reading chair, an oil lamp, or upon a fireplace mantel. The piece remains in wonderful vintage condition, boasting a rich, unpolished patina with areas of natural wear and warmth bleeding through the silver-plate that only enhance its authentic, time-worn character.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.
SHIPPING As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.
PHOTOGRAPHY All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
