Heavy Antique Victorian Sterling Silver Gilt Cigar/cheroot Case - London 1850

£3,500    $4,688    €4,005
We are delighted to have acquired and offer this spectacular Victorian solid silver gilt cigar/cheroot case made in London in 1850 with marks for Thomas Edwards.
 
Whilst difficult to convey through photos, this box is made from an incredible gauge of thick silver and the weight in hand is very impressive indeed (204g). Such heft and tangible quality can be felt upon holding it in hand and due to its dimensions, it feels very robust and hefty.
