Description

We are delighted to offer this stunning sunburst green enamel and sterling silver cigarette case, made by Walker & Hall in Birmingham 1937.

With practicality, elegance and style combined in one, this cigarette case is the perfect accoutrement for any tobacciana collection or collectors of enamelware.

The case features a slightly unusual convex and curved design which fits into the palm of the hand very ergonomically. The top lid features a wonderful blue guilloche enamel with a fine starburst/ray pattern.

The interior is fully silver gilt which provides a layer of protection from the contents inside oxidising/tarnishing the silver.

The push button clasp still functions very well with an audible 'snap' upon closure, keeping all contents held within safely.

Whilst originally designed for holding cigarettes, this case could also be used for short-form cigars, holding matches or small items. A perfect gift or addition for the discerning individual and an equally delightful conversation starter.

A full set of English hallmarks are present on the interior of both sides.

Guilloche is a decorative technique where a precise, intricate pattern is mechanically engraved into a metal surface beneath a translucent layer of enamel. It gained widespread popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly within Art Nouveau and Art Deco designs.

These pieces are typically constructed from sterling silver, often featuring a hallmark indicating the assay office, standard, and date. The coloured decoration is created using powdered glass fused to the metal base through high-temperature firing.

Authentic pieces bear official hallmarks stamped into the metal, denoting the maker, metal purity, and year of manufacture. The enamel should show fine, even machine-turned engraving underneath and display age-appropriate characteristics without modern synthetic resin repairs.

This piece works well as a decorative display object on a coffee table tray, bookshelf, or mantelpiece. It adds a touch of metallic sheen and vibrant colour to tabletop vignettes.

Enamel is sensitive to harsh chemicals, abrasives, and ultrasonic cleaning, which can damage or discolour the glass surface. Clean gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid immersing the piece in liquid silver dip to protect the enamel edges.
