Aramis Antiques has dated this Silver Art Deco Cigarette Box to the 1940s.
This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.
The clip opener and backing are plain silver as is the oblong cartouche below. The flat protruding feet are also consistent with Deco design. The box is lined with cedar wood. In WWII food was rationed and just about everyone smoked cigarettes to keep the hunger pangs at bay - most homes would have had a box like this - and the design of it was well chosen. It is in very good condition, with some wear consistent with age on the leather base but no splits in the leather. Weight 11oz/340gr including loaded base.
