ANTIQUE 19thC VICTORIAN SOLID SILVER 'CAMPFIRE' TABLE LIGHTER, LONDON c.1893
Antique 19th Century Victorian solid silver table lighter modelled as a miniature campfire scene, mounted on a wooden base. The detailed silverwork depicts a rustic tripod formed from branches tied together with rope, alongside a miniature cooking pot and a realistically textured rocky landscape.
The central fireplace is designed to hold a wick, allowing it to function as a lighter. Two removable silver lighting sticks are positioned within the scene and can be used to transfer the flame for lighting cigars or cigarettes. A charming and inventive example of Victorian novelty silver, combining fine craftsmanship with an unusual and practical design. A desirable piece for collectors of antique silver and smoking accessories.
Hallmarked English Silver (925 Standard), London, year 1893 (S), Maker's Mark illegible.
