An Assortment of Victorian and Later Silver and Silver-Tone Decorative Collectables including a Vesta Case, Decanter Labels, and Jewellery - This assortment of decorative objects comprises a variety of late 19th and early 20th-century silver and silver-tone items. Included is a rectangular vesta case featuring high-relief repoussé decoration of scrollwork, acanthus leaves, and shell motifs. The case features a side-hinged lid, a striker to the base, and two central cartouches; one is vacant with surface scratching, while the other is engraved with an interlaced monogram. A group of decanter labels includes a rectangular Sherry ticket with a shell and scroll border, an oval Brandy ticket with a beaded and foliate scroll border, and a similar oval Whiskey ticket complete with a suspension chain. A collection of thimbles contains four metal examples with various engine-turned and diaper patterns, alongside a porcelain thimble featuring hand-painted pink rose blossoms. Two telescopic writing instruments are present: one with a cross-hatched engine-turned body and suspension ring, and a simpler cylindrical lead holder. The lot is completed by a panel bracelet consisting of twelve rectangular links, each depicting a figure in raised relief representing zodiac signs or mythological scenes, fitted with a safety chain and ring clasp.
