This Victorian gentleman's desk accessory takes the form of an antique cigar cutter dating from 1900, produced by George Adam Scheid. The curved cream-coloured boar tusk handle is fitted at one end with a detailed cast silver eagle head terminal set with garnet cabochon eyes, and at the opposing end with a functional steel cutting mechanism secured by a silver collar. The silver bears the Austrian 900 silver Viennese Diana's head hallmark alongside the maker's mark GAS, displaying small marks and light surface scratches from previous handling. Measuring 14.5 cm in length, this collector's piece is well suited for display on an office desk in a study or library setting. It functions as a practical smoking accessory while doubling as a decorative object that reflects turn-of-the-century Viennese silver manufacturing standards.

FAQs

A boar tusk cigar cutter is a traditional late nineteenth or early twentieth-century smoking accessory featuring a natural wild boar tusk mounted with silver or silver-plate fittings and an integrated steel cutting mechanism.

Antique cigar cutters frequently incorporated sterling or continental silver, natural animal tusks and horns, steel blades, and occasionally gemstone or glass accents in the terminal mounts.

Authentic period pieces typically feature maker marks, silver purity hallmarks, natural age-related patination, and hand-cast or hand-chased decorative terminal fittings.

These decorative tobacciana objects are commonly styled on home office desks, coffee table trays, or alongside leather-bound volumes on bookshelf display shelves.

Clean the silver mounts gently using a soft polishing cloth, avoid liquid silver dips on organic elements, and store the object away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking in the tusk material.
