Antique Victorian Solid Silver Cigarette Case With Unusual Opening Mechanism - Birmingham 1886
£650 $876 €749
We are delighted to offer this unique Victorian solid silver cigarette case made in Birmingham 1886 with an unidentified maker''s mark ''C.C''.
This cigarette case features a wonderfully embellished exterior of floral motifs throughout and a central cartouche with a period hand-engraved crest.
Its overall curvature is a wonderful touch, allowing for the case to sit flush against the thigh or rib cage, depending on whether it is stored in your trouser/blazer pocket.
A unique point of this case is the spring-loaded lid which opens three-quarters of the way, allowing for the cigarettes to be still held within whilst open. The mechanism remains smooth, strong and with a tight closure, a testament to its overall quality and craftsmanship.
The interior is silver gilt (gold on top of solid silver) which not only creates a lovely contrast to its exterior silver colour but adds a layer of protection to prevent the content held within from tarnishing the silver. There is a hand en...graving which reads ''Jeffery Whitehead Junr Stock Exchange London''.
Owing to its stylish and practical proportions, this case could be used to hold short cigarillos/short cigarettes or other small articles of your preference. A distinguished and timeless design, ideal for the discerning individual and bound to be a conversation starter upon usage.
A full set of matching hallmarks are present on both sides of the interior.
