Brass French Bulldog Vesta Match Safe Snuff Box

Item: 1702310716

A beautiful French Bulldog Vesta.  This vesta is just breath-taking, brimming full of character in the shape of a French Bulldog with little green gem set eyes. This is a real collectible treasure which would add some character to your collection; it also makes a quirky little addition to your home decor as it can be really nicely displayed. Although traditonally designed to house matches it could also be used to store small keepsakes - a mini treasure chest for meaningful items, perhaps even you could put a rolled up note inside.
The vesta opens via a hinged lid at the top of the dog's head with a strike strip to the underside.
