About the Item

This elegant sterling silver urn and coordinating underplate offer a refined and functional accent for any classic interior. Standing at 3 inches tall, the urn is perfectly sized for holding wooden matches, with an aesthetic presence that belies its compact scale. Originally intended to hold cigarettes, it now serves beautifully as a match holder—an ideal companion to a pair of candlesticks on a mantel or sideboard. The urn features a traditional form with a flared rim, gently tapering body, and pedestal base, all adorned with a classic gadroon border. This raised, scalloped edge motif runs along the top rim and around the foot of the urn, providing a richly textured contrast to the smooth, polished silver surface. The underplate, measuring 3.5 inches in diameter, echoes the urn’s detailing with a matching gadroon design along its edge, tying the two pieces together in a harmonious and sophisticated composition. Crafted in solid sterling silver, the piece reflects exceptional workmanship, with balanced proportions and an understated decorative elegance. The gleaming silver finish lends timeless appeal while enhancing the warmth of the candlelight it helps to kindle. A charming example of repurposed antique silver, this urn and plate set brings both history and utility to the modern home—transforming a former cigarette vessel into a stylish and useful object of decor.
