Condition

This antique sterling silver sovereign case / vesta case is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional presentation condition.

Full hallmarks struck to the rim of the vesta case in addition to part hallmarks to the interior of each cover, the sprung sovereign receiver and ring loop attachment are all very clear.

The maker's mark has been overstruck, which was not an unusual practice, but remains very clear and distinguishable.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of antique silverware.

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.
