This Edwardian cigar case originates from the 1910 period and is made from reddish-brown crocodile leather with solid sterling silver mounts. The construction takes a curved pocket shape featuring a prominent crocodile scale texture across the body, a wide silver band across the top bearing London hall-marks and maker's marks, and an applied silver monogram in the centre with the initials CFS. The surface displays minor signs of age including the odd old stain and scuff. Measuring 10.8 cm by 8.5 cm, this compact accessory sits well on an office desk as a decorative object within a gentleman's library setting or functions as a collector's piece for display on a shelf or tabletop.

FAQs

During the Edwardian era, silver-mounted leather goods represented refined luxury personal items for gentlemen. Craftsmen combined durable exotic hides with sterling silver fittings, which were stamped with official British assay hallmarks to verify purity and origin.

Traditional cigar cases were constructed from exotic leathers such as crocodile, alligator, or pigskin, alongside metals like sterling silver, nickel, or tortoise shell. Inner linings were frequently fitted with kidskin leather or silk to protect the cigars.

Authentic British pieces feature stamped hallmarks on the silver band or frame. These include the lion passant for sterling purity, a city assay mark such as the leopard head for London, a date letter, and a makers mark.

Small antique leather accessories can be styled as decorative accents on a library bookshelf, an office desk, or a valet tray atop a sideboard. They add tactile texture and historical context when paired with framed art or brass desk accoutrements.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and dampness. Treat the leather periodically with a specialist leather conditioner, taking care not to allow chemical creams to contact the silver fittings, which should be polished gently with a dry microfiber cloth.
