Alabaster and Sterling Silver Match Striker - Antique George V (1913) Video

Alabaster and Sterling Silver Match Striker - Antique George V (1913)

Description

This impressive antique George V sterling and alabaster match striker has a globular form.

The surface of the alabaster* body has a carved textured finish which composes a match striker.

The upper portion of this antique match striker retains the original, hallmarked sterling silver mount ornamented with a band of engine turned decoration.

* Alabaster is a mineral / soft rock and has been used through history for carving decorative pieces and artefacts. Between gemmologist and archaeologists there is a difference of opinion on the composition of the mineral, from a fine-grained gypsum to a type of calcite; the calcite variation has been traditionally labelled 'onyx-marble' despite being geologically inaccurate.

Andrew Campbell started trading in antiques during the 1970s. Initially, Andrew lived in the South of England, travelling the country, searching for items of silver to buy. Andrew sold these items at various London markets and antique fairs. Over time, and through selling at a range of venues, Andrew built up a large and diverse customer base from private buyers to national and international trade customers.
