FAQs

During the Victorian era, smoking became a popular social ritual for gentlemen, leading to the creation of specialised pocket accessories such as cigar cases, match safes, and vesta boxes, often crafted from luxury materials like precious metals and exotic leather.

Antique cigar cases were typically constructed using a rigid internal frame covered in exotic leathers like alligator, crocodile, or pigskin, and frequently reinforced with sterling silver rims, shields, or monogram plates.

Authentic pieces from the period can be identified by hallmarks stamped onto the silver mounts, which indicate the assay office, standard of silver, and date letter, alongside traditional hand-stitched leatherwork and patination consistent with age.

These small items can be displayed on a desk, bookshelf, or side table as part of a curated vignette, adding texture and historical interest to a study or living space.

To preserve these pieces, keep them away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent the leather from drying out, and clean the silver components sparingly with a non-abrasive microfibre cloth to protect the hallmarks.
