FAQs

Silver should be gently cleaned using a specialized non-abrasive micro-fibre polishing cloth to remove tarnish while preserving any delicate hand-engraving and original gilt finishes.

These compact metal objects make excellent decorative display items when placed open or closed on a coffee table, desk, or within a glass cabinet.

Authentic pieces carry British hallmarks stamped directly into the metal, which typically include a lion passant indicating sterling standard, a city mark for the assay office, and a date letter.

They were typically fashioned from solid sterling silver, often featuring gilt interiors (wash-gilding) to prevent the tobacco from tarnishing the metal, and decorated with engine-turning or hand-engraving.

Silver cigarette cases became prominent status symbols during the late 19th and mid-20th centuries, often given as presentation pieces for retirements, military service, or corporate milestones.
