A striking Victorian silver vesta with an unusually shaped cartouche. This has an all over Ivy leaf decoration which is really unusual and striking. There is a central, unengraved, shaped cartouche to the front, and fully decorated back and sides. A really beautiful example of a piece of collectable silver from the Edwardian period.
