This elegant cigarette case is crafted in sterling silver and features a stunning guilloche enamel finish in radiant turquoise. The guilloche technique showcases intricate, repetitive engraved patterns beneath the enamel, enhancing its visual appeal. The design highlights a sunburst pattern radiating from the center, exemplifying meticulous craftsmanship and a sophisticated Art Deco influence.
The compact rectangular form is both functional and decorative, embodying the luxury of its era. The reverse side is adorned with an engine-turned design, adding an extra touch of refinement. The interior is fully silver gilt, providing a protective layer that prevents the contents inside from oxidizing or tarnishing the silver.
The cigarette case comes with an elegant box, making it a great and stylish gift—a cigarette case for small cigarettes or an ideal business card holder.
Made by William Neale & Sons, the piece is fully hallmarked for Birmingham, 1934. William Neale''s Art Deco and post-Deco colored guilloche enamel creations are highly collectible.
