Up for bid is an antique/vintage nephrite jade matchbox
cover with a carved crest. The piece is 2 3/8 inches long by 1 5/8 inches wide
by just over 1 inch thick. The main body
is carved from a single piece of jade, with just the end piece fabricated
separately and inserted as shown. It has
a relief-carved boar’s head family crest on the top. It comes with a matchbox for the Grand Hotel,
Stockholm, Sweden. There are no marks.
Condition on the piece is good. There is no damage. An unusual old matchbox cover!
