Match Case 1890 - 1900

"Match Case" is a small, cylindrical, decorative box made of silver and gold. It is an example of the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic flair of Tiffany & Co. during the late 19th century. The intricate, swirling pattern on the surface of the case, likely achieved through a technique known as "cloisonné," adds to the beauty of the object. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this case showcases the company's mastery of silver and gold work, and its attention to detail, a hallmark of Tiffany & Co. design.
