This mid-century cigarette case originates from 1947 and reflects the glamour of the period. Formed in nine-carat yellow gold, the cylindrical object displays a distinctive fluted body with radial starburst detailing at the terminal, accented by small round stones at the centre and set with a sparkling diamond clasp. Measuring 3 cm in height and 8 cm in width, the compact accessory is hallmarked with Jacques Cartier London maker's marks and the date letter for 1947. Today, this refined piece serves as a striking display item or a sophisticated desk accessory for an office workspace. Placed upon a desk, it offers both historical interest and functional utility for storing small personal items or decorative display within a modern interior setting.

FAQs

During the mid-20th century, gold cigarette cases were styled as luxury personal accessories crafted by major jewellery houses. These pieces served as symbols of status and social refinement, blending functional design with fine goldsmithing techniques.

High-end cases from the 1940s were primarily constructed from solid yellow or rose gold, often decorated with engine-turned fluting and set with precious gemstones such as diamonds, rubies, or sapphires on the catch and terminals.

Authentic pieces generally feature maker marks such as JC for Jacques Cartier, London hallmarking including date letters and fineness marks, and clean hand-engraved serial numbers along the inner rim or hinge.

A vintage gold case can be placed on a desk tray, displayed on a bookshelf, or styled inside a glass display vitrine alongside other small antique objects and collectables.

Clean gently using a soft lint-free jewellery cloth to remove finger oils. Store the item in a soft fabric pouch away from harder objects to avoid scratching the surface polished gold.
