About the Item

An exceptional, fine and impressive, unusual antique Victorian English sterling silver table lighter modelled in the form of a hunting horn; an addition to our Victorian silverware collection. This exceptional antique Victorian silver lighter, in sterling standard, has been realistically modelled in the form of a fox hunting horn. The swept cylindrical body of this novelty silver straight trumpet is embellished with the original gilding to the lower portion representing the copper bell. The bell is ornamented with the contemporary engraved inscription 'P. Saltmarshe, Esq, 1889, from Major General Ravenhill'. The rim of the antique lighter bell is encompassed with bands of tooled decoration. The upper portion of this antique lighter is encircled with further bands of tooled decoration and retains the original screw fit mouthpiece; once removed this allows access to the wick. Such solid silver examples bearing the traditional hunting horn copper effect are rare. This Victorian hunting horn table lighter serves as a unique and unforgettable gift, ideal for significant birthdays, retirements or Father's Day celebrations. Its distinctive design and classic appeal enhance any study, library or bar setting, making it particularly valued by enthusiasts of antique smoking paraphernalia or historical artifacts. Condition This impressive antique Victorian lighter is a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The original gilding is in excellent condition. Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the horn are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the superior gauge of silver. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this exceptional smoking accessory.
