This mid-century modern oval cigar box originates from Paris, produced around 1960 in the French Modernist style. Made from silver plate with a polished mirror finish, the cylindrical vessel displays a bright silver colour. The body and top sections are decorated with vertical reeded linear panels, complemented by professional cleaning and polishing that leaves a few pin-point stubborn spots on the front. Signed on the underside "Crevillen, Paris", the piece includes top-notch hinges and measures 15.2 cm high, 10.2 cm wide, and 7.6 cm deep. Positioned on a gentleman's library desk or office desk, the canister provides stylish storage for cigars while serving as a decorative accessory. The solid metallic form integrates easily into mid-century or modern interior schemes, adding a refined touch to a study or workspace surface. Maintenance requires only occasional wiping with a soft cloth to preserve the reflective exterior finish.

FAQs

French Modernist metalwork from this era focuses on streamlined geometric silhouettes, clean lines, and minimal ornamentation, often relying on textured surfaces such as reeding or engine-turning to reflect light.

These items are generally crafted from base metals such as brass, copper, or nickel alloy, which are electroplated with a layer of fine silver to create a polished, reflective finish.

Authentic pieces usually feature makers stamps or hallmarks near the rim or underside, precise geometric joinery, heavy gauge metal weight, and period-accurate decorative motifs.

A cylindrical silver container can be styled as an accent piece on an executive office desk, positioned alongside books on a shelf, or displayed on a bar cart.

Dust regularly with a dry, non-abrasive microfiber cloth and apply a specialized silver polish occasionally to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical cleansers that could strip the electroplated layer.
