Edwardian Hallmarked Silver Hidden Photo Frame Vesta Case | Birmingham 1901

Why we chose it: A clever and sentimental piece from the Edwardian era, this sterling silver vesta case hides a miniature photo frame inside — a discreet and personal feature typical of the time. Once opened, a hinged front flap reveals a hidden compartment designed to hold a small photograph — likely of a loved one. These dual-purpose objects were not only practical but also deeply meaningful, offering a window into the emotional lives of their original owners. A true collector’s piece and a beautiful example of period ingenuity.
