This sterling silver cigarette case, dated 1899, is a beautifully crafted piece exemplifying the elegance of the Victorian era. The exterior features intricate floral and scroll engravings, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The hinged case is rectangular with rounded edges, providing a smooth, ergonomic feel. The piece is slightly curved for comfortable handling and features a monogram, presumably the initials ''WV,'' on the front side.
