Victorian Solid Silver Enamel Tabby Cat Vesta

A truly stunning Victorian sterling silver vesta case, featuring a beautiful enamel plaque of a charming tabby cat on the front. The silver itself has a hand-chased ivy leaf decoration, a motif often associated with fidelity and affection in the Victorian era. The craftsmanship is exquisite, with crisp detail and a lovely sense of depth to the chasing.

A functional yet highly decorative piece, this vesta would make a superb addition to any antique silver, enamel, or feline-themed collection.
