Tiny Cased Antique Wax Seal Set By J C Vickery, Regent Street, London
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:2961614 |
This is a really attractive antique cased set of tiny candles and a beautiful little candle holder made by the top retailer J C Vickery of Regent Street, London. I think it was a portable seal set for applying a wax seal to envelopes, etc. - the seal itself and the sealing wax would be in a separate container. This set would have also had matches inside as it has a striker surface inside the lid. It could have also been simply a pocket "Go-to-Bed" form of illumination. J C Vicker...y was primarily a gold and silver smith and expanded his business in Regent Street from number 183 to number 181 but, from the label, this set predates the further expansion to number 179 in 1900. The case, which is very ornate, measures 3.5 x 1 x 1/2 inch deep and is in really good condition, and inside the gilded finish is really splendid.
