This early 20th-century Edwardian cigarette case takes the form of a rectangular silver box with rounded corners and a side push-button catch visible along the lower edge. The surface exhibits a textured basketweave pattern formed from interlocking woven silver strips, creating a high-shine reflective finish with alternating light and dark highlights across the lattice work. The exterior displays minimal surface marks and minor tonal variations on the woven bands, reflecting genuine period wear. Measuring 9 cm x 7.5 cm, the case fits comfortably within a pocket or rests upon an office desk as a decorative accessory for a gentleman's library. The hinged lid opens securely via the small rounded release button positioned on the side margin. This compact collectible serves as a functional desktop container or portable holding case in a traditional study interior.

FAQs

Silver cigarette cases became popular personal accessories in the late 19th and early 20th centuries alongside the rise of manufactured cigarettes. Silversmiths across Europe produced patterned pocket cases featuring specialised metalworking techniques like engine turning and woven relief.

These cases were typically constructed from silver alloys, such as .925 sterling or .935 continental silver, to provide structural strength while allowing detailed chasing and woven texturing.

Authenticity is verified by checking purity stamps, makers marks, and hallmarks typically located along the inner rim or hinge line. Original construction features include smooth push-button catch mechanisms and precise pattern integration.

An antique silver case works effectively as a decorative accent on an office desk, console table, or bookshelf, serving as a functional holder for business cards or small items.

Maintain the finish by wiping gently with a soft silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish without stripping the oxidisation inside textured grooves. Store in a dry, tarnish-resistant pouch when not displayed.
