Antique 19th Century French Pyrogene

Antique 19th century pyrogene

This antique pyrogene was made in France in the 19th century and was traditionally used to carry matches. It features a striking surface on the base and is crafted from pewter. The piece is decorated with fleur-de-lis motifs and an elegant monogram bearing the initials N. de D.

A unique and atmospheric object, making a wonderful gift for an antique collector or an enthusiast of beautiful historical relics.

After more than a century, this pyrogene remains in used condition. Over time, it has developed a rich, naturally oxidized patina that enhances its character and charm. Please note that one of the four fleur-de-lis decorations is missing, and the lid no longer closes properly – details that reflect its age and history.
