This 1930 Art Deco Continental .900 silver gilt cigarette card case exhibits a curved rectangular form with horizontal engine-turned reeding across its surfaces and a blue cabochon push-piece on the clasp. The visible details comprise fine linear striations, a small spherical push button set with a blue stone, a central hinge seam dividing the body, and soft surface wear along the metallic finish. Measuring 9 cm x 8 cm, the piece sits neatly on an office desk to hold cards or small keepsakes. Usage suits a traditional desk space, a study, or a display surface where it operates as a functional decorative accessory. The object maintains its original opening and closing mechanism, showing age-appropriate rubbing and handling marks on the metalwork without modification.

FAQs

Art Deco cigarette cases are portable metal containers produced during the 1920s and 1930s designed to store cigarettes or calling cards, defined by geometric linear decoration, sleek profiles, and functional elegance.

These cases were commonly crafted from sterling or Continental silver, often finished with a thin gold plating (silver gilt), fine engine-turned reeding, and synthetic or semi-precious cabochon push pieces.

Authenticity is established by examining metal fineness hallmarks, makers marks, engine-turned geometric patterns, and spring-hinged closure mechanisms consistent with early 20th-century metalworking standards.

An antique silver gilt case can be displayed on a desk tray, presented on an office desk, or repurposed as a functional container for business cards and small desktop accessories.

Clean gently using a dry, non-abrasive microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid silver polishes or abrasive chemical agents that could wear down the surface gilding or loosen set cabochons.
