This Middle Eastern solid silver and gold cigarette case dates to approximately 1950. The rectangular silver object displays a polished metallic sheen and features a dense chased foliate pattern across the cover, interspersed with detailed bird engravings. A gold monogram plaque bearing the initials SD sits within an arabesque border in the upper corner, while the sides and edges show a clean, moulded profile with a secure closure mechanism. The silver surface presents light handling wear consistent with age, remaining free from major dings or splits. Measuring 10 cm by 8.2 cm, the piece weighs 133 grams and tests as 840 standard silver. In a modern interior, this item sits neatly on an office desk or library table to store small personal items, or functions as a decorative accessory for a collector of mid-century metalwork.

FAQs

During the mid-20th century, artisan workshops across the Middle East produced detailed silver pocket accessories featuring dense chased floral motifs, intricate bird engravings, and gold accenting for both regional use and international collectors.

These cases were crafted using silver alloys, often hand-chased or engraved with fine steel tools to create raised scrollwork and avian motifs, with applied gold monogram plates or inlay added for contrast.

Authentic pieces exhibit subtle hand-tooling marks, continuous arabesque patterns, variable engraving depth, and hallmark stamps that indicate the silver purity standard.

A decorative silver pocket case can be styled flat or angled on an office desk, displayed atop stacked art books on a coffee table, or arranged inside a glass curio cabinet alongside other silver objects.

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, non-abrasive cotton cloth. Avoid harsh chemical polishes that can strip natural oxidisation from the deep engraved recesses.
