1900s Sterling Silver Thimble With French Case
Artist: Boulenger..?
A solid silver thimble...
And a vermeil interior...
Controlled with a boar's head...
So 800/1000...
And its small case...
Leather and silver-plated metal...
Marked "registered"...
From the 1900's...
Made for one of the PARIS World's Fairs...
I'd lean towards the silversmith BOULENGER...
Because it looks like one of his cutlery models...
The thistle model...
In very good condition, just a little wear to the silvering on the case...
Cases like this one are quite rare...
For me a first...
And this "'l'Art Nouveau" period is short...!
So it's rare...!
Weight of the set ... 16 gr 8 ...
Thimble weight ... 4 gr 1 ...
