Questions About Vesta Case English
- What is a silver Vesta case?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Vesta cases or vesta boxes are small portable boxes to protect matches and make sure they stay dry, which is why they are also known as match safes. They are named after the Roman goddess of the hearth, Vesta.
- What are Vesta cases used for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022With a name borrowed from the Roman goddess for fire and the hearth, Vesta cases were used to store matches and protect them from getting wet. On 1stDibs, you can find a collection of Vesta cases from some of the world’s top sellers.
- When were Vesta cases invented?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Vesta cases were invented in the early 18th century, shortly after the 1826 advent of the friction “lucifer” matches, which could spontaneously ignite and even explode from friction. Vesta cases were developed to hold the matches to protect them from friction — and the match-holder from danger. Small and compact, these cases typically had a hinged lid and were usually made of gold or silver, and they ranged from very plain to highly ornate. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vesta cases from top sellers worldwide.
- What is a Victorian vesta case?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A vesta case is a small box that’s designed to hold matches. The name Vesta is taken from the Roman goddess of the hearth. Interestingly, in the 1830s, friction matches became as popular as strike-anywhere matches. However, they were unstable and could combust at any time, so a case to hold and protect the individual matches was necessary. Shop a range of antique and vintage vesta cases on 1stDibs.
